Lillian Hernandez Ortiz

In Loving Memory of Lillian Hernandez Ortiz (November 25, 1928 – November 26, 2025)

Lillian Hernandez Ortiz, left us peacefully on November 26, 2025, surrounded by her family. Born November 25, 1928, in Corona, California to Ausencio Mendoza-Hernandez and Maria Perez-Hernandez, Lillian lived a life defined by love, resilience, faith and devotion to her family.

She is survived by her five children: Sylvia Deraz (Carmelo Deraz), Monica Ortiz, Cecilia Gallardo (Alan Gallardo), Annette Ortiz, and Ronald Ortiz (Theresa Ortiz); her 11 grandchildren; and her 9 great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her endless joy and pride.

Her legacy will live on in the hearts of her family and all who were blessed to share in her life.

Lillian is now reunited with her beloved husband, Susano Ortiz, whom she joins in eternal rest.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered. May she rest in everlasting peace.
