Dora Fernandez
Dora Fernandez, our beloved sister, aunt, and cousin, passed away on November 21, 2014. She was born on February 24, 1928, in Nava, Coahuila, Mexico to the late Raymundo and Maria Fernandez and was one of six children (Jovita, Rudy, Ernest, Ralph ,Minerva). She is survived by her sister, Minerva Nerios from League City, and countless nieces, nephews, and cousins. Her family moved to Galveston ,Texas when she was four years old, where she attended school and worked. She then moved to League City to be close to work and retired from Lockheed at NASA in the late 80’s. She was a long time member of St. Mary Catholic Church in League City and the Senior Citizen Center in Bacliff.
Dora’s home was the central place for the family to meet. She loved to cook, bake, make ceramic dolls, macramé, paint her infamous Christmas ceramic trees, and listen to Garth Brooks! We will all miss her cheese enchiladas, German Chocolate cake, banana pudding, Snicker doodle and Ranger cookies, and Bunuelos!! Most of all, we will miss her wit!
Dora was a voice of reason to us all and she will be greatly missed!
Services will be held at Crowder funeral home in Webster, on Monday, November 24th. Friends and family may visit from 6 to 8 p.m. with a rosary being said at 7:00.

Olivet Catholic Cemetery in Dickinson. Pallbearers: Manuel Nerios III, Michael Nerios, Rudy Fernandez, John Paul Zapata, Robbie Balderas, and Hector Garza.
Honorary pallbearers are: Louis Balderas, Jim Nerios, Tom Fernandez, and David Fernandez .
The family wishes to thank the Adalpe family for being so good to Dora through the years.
Dora was my lead and mentor when I started working for Lockheed in 1970. We worked hard and had lots of fun – we were the “Keypunch Swing shift” girls.
Dora was a great help at the nursing home for my cousin, Betty. Dora was her voice and companion since Betty was unable to speak.
Love and blessings to the family.

Por favor acepten mis más sinceras condolencias por la pérdida de su ser amado. Es muy triste cuando un ser amado en la muerte, no hay dolor que se pueda comparar. Por tal razón le ruego a Dios que le dé el consuelo que busca a semejante pena. Ese consuelo lo hayamos en la palabra de Dios la Biblia. Deseo compartir con usted unos textos que le ayudaran en momentos difíciles como por el que está pasando. Juan 5: 28- cito: “No se maravillen de esto, porque viene la hora en que todos los que están en las tumbas conmemorativas oirán su voz y saldrán…..” Apocalipsis (Revelación) 21: 4 – nos da la siguiente promesa; “Y limpiará toda lágrima de sus ojos, y la muerte no será más….” espero que estas palabras le ayude a lidiar con su dolor y le dé luz de esperanza. Como registra Isaías 25.8 que se tragará la muerte. ¡Qué maravillosa esperanza que no haya más muerte y la vez se nos dé el privilegio de verlos nuevamente!
