Zinnia Margarita Hernandez passed away on December 17, 2021 surrounded by her beloved husband and kids.  Zinnia grew up in Gilroy, CA where she attended school and had a successful 20 year career as a Satellite Dialysis Technician where she loved and enjoyed each and every one of her wonderful co-workers and patients like family.   Zinnia married her husband Raymond Hernandez on September 8, 2001 and they have been blessed with a loving and devoted 20 year marriage.  They raised two beautiful children, son Raymond Hernandez Jr. and daughter Julia Hernandez.  Zinnia was a loving mother who was very involved in all of her children's activities.  Zinnia would help run snack shacks for her son's football games and run cookie booths for her daughter's girl scout troop and gave endless support to both of her kids.  She always went above and beyond for whom she loved, making everyone feel as if they were the most important person in the room. Her quick witted sense of humor made others break out in laughter bringing joy to everyone around her. Zinnia was the best wife, mother, sister, daughter, auntie, godmother and friend. She was a bright light in all our hearts. Zinnia will be missed dearly and may she rest peacefully.

Zinnia is survived by her husband Raymond Hernandez Sr.,  her children Raymond Hernandez Jr. and Julia Hernandez, her parents Jeff and Delma Capen, her sisters Sheena Capen, Marrissa Capen, and Jessica (Eric) Cruz, her in laws Monica Salgado and Lupe Hernandez, her sister in laws Adrianna (Carlos) Adragna, Rosanna (Joe) Hernandez, and Angelina (Andrew) Hernandez, as well as her brother in laws Gabriel (Amy) Hernandez and Jarrod Hernandez.  Zinnia was preceded in death by her grandparents Fernando and Margarita Fuentez, Godparents Danny and Diana Fuentez, Uncle Delbert Fuentez and Aunt Delia Griffith.

Words can never express how much she will be missed and how much she is loved by her family.

"I love everybody…everybody should be good to each other"
