She was born on November 30, 1938 in San Marcos, Texas to Victor and Manuela Ponciano Eureste. Andrea traveled to Casa Grande, Arizona for work where she met her husband Cristobol Hernandez in 1958. They then became permanent residents of Casa Grande and birthed and raised five children together. Andrea loved being a stay-at-home mother for 16 years while raising her children, maintaining her household and became passionate for cooking and baking. She also loved volunteering at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in her spare time and was an active PTA member at St. Anthony’s Catholic School. Thereafter, she became employed by Hickman’s Family Farms Egg Plant, where she retired after 10 years. She was a devoted Catholic, wife, parent, grandparent, sister, sister-in-law and friend. She had a big heart and was loved by so many. She was always the heart of the family and loved spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren whom she helped raise. She spent a lot of time in the kitchen where she mastered her traditional recipes and was able to share her love for cooking with her family. She also enjoyed gardening. She loved her plants and red roses; she had quite a green thumb. She was known for her big beautiful hair, her love for dancing, listening to her music by Ramon Ayala and Los Tigres Del Norte and enjoying the company of her friends.
