On September 9, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family, Stephanie Cano Hernandez peacefully passed away at the age of 33 after a brave and unwavering battle with cancer. Though her time on this earth was far too short, her impact on the lives of those who knew and loved her will last forever.

Stephanie was born to Martina and Ricardo Cano, who raised her with love, faith, and the values of family and perseverance. She was a devoted sister to Evelyn, Yanin, and Boris Cano and her bond with them remained strong through every stage of her life.

Stephanie's greatest pride and joy was being a wife and mother. She shared her life with her beloved husband, Francisco Hernandez, building a home filled with love, laughter, and unwavering support. Together, they raised five beautiful children: Tiffany, Elias, Castiel, Lukas, and Julius, who were her heart and her motivation through every challenge she faced. Her children will always carry forward the lessons she instilled in them—kindness, courage, and the importance of family.
