Claira Sue Hernandez, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, will be remembered with joy and gratitude following her peaceful passing on March 4, 2026, at the age of 67.
Born on April 9,1958, in Comanche, TX, Claira was a bright light in the lives of everyone she touched. She was the cherished daughter of William Arthur Crews and Ruby (Durham) Williams and a devoted wife to Tino Hernandez, whom she married in Ranger, TX in 1978. Claira embraced life with open arms and a caring spirit, making a lasting impact as a CNA where she dedicated herself to the well-being of others. Family was at the heart of her existence; she found immense joy in spending time with her daughters, Tammi Copeland and spouse Chris Johnson, and Wendy McDade and husband Scot McDade.
As a proud grandmother, Claira delighted in the lives of her five grandchildren-Hailey Copeland, Aaron Copeland and fiancé Delynn Maldonado, Quinton Hernandez and partner Triston Wallace , Kaleigh Hernandez, and Caden Hernandez-always ready to share laughs and create beautiful memories. Claira’s love for simple pleasures was evident in her many hobbies, from watching movies and shopping, and reading, and much more.
