Mrs. Abrego Hernandez was known for her beautiful needlepoint creations that were framed and treasured by her family.  Her abilities were enhanced by her sewing prowess as she made gorgeous clothing, especially dresses.  Mrs. Abrego Hernandez’s hands never tired.  She even had two green thumbs growing gardens filled with colorful flowers and delicious, bountiful vegetables.  Mrs. Abrego Hernandez loved to cook her many appetizing treats for the family whether it was for a small dinner around the kitchen table or a big holiday gathering.  Most of all, her joy in life came from the love of her grandchildren and spending as much time as she could with them.

She is survived by her daughter, Brenda M. Hernandez; her son, Walter Hernandez; her two sisters; Maria Abrego de Castillo and Dina Galeano; her brother, Francisco Abrego Galeano; her fourteen grandchildren and her fourteen great grandchildren.

Elva was the center of life for her family, and she had an abundance of love for everyone in her circle.  She will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
