Britney Alexandra Hernandez, beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, goddaughter, and cousin, passed away on November 11, 2024, at the age of 10 . She brought immense joy to her family and friends, lighting up every room with her smile and warmth. Britney was the cherished daughter of Nubia and Carlos Hernandez and a loving sister to Emely, Cristy, Jackson, and Stefany. As a granddaughter, she held a special place in the hearts of her grandparents. Her godparents guided her with love and care throughout her life, and she shared a close bond with her many aunts, uncles and cousins. From the moment Britney was born on May 1, 2014, her life was a journey marked by courage and resilience. Diagnosed with Congenital Hypotonia shortly after birth, she faced each challenge with a spirit that inspired all who knew her. Britney’s medical journey began at Nemours Children Hospital, where the medical team quickly recognized her remarkable strength and unique vibrant personality. With countless treatments, therapies, and procedures, Britney endured more in her young life than many could imagine. Yet, she faced each day with a radiant smile and a heart full of joy. Throughout her journey, her family stood by her side, along with a team of dedicated caregivers from Bayada Nursing Agency who became like extended family, providing unwavering support and love. Britney was part of the Reach program through Leasure Elementary School, where she was homeschooled until fifth grade. As a baby, Britney showed through smiles and excitement that she enjoyed watching Mickey and Minnie Mouse all morning long. Britney as a toddler survived two cardiac arrests where the second one led to her needing a tracheostomy and becoming ventilator dependent. Even though this procedure resulted in her losing her smile she continued to demonstrate joy in her eyes. Through the Make- A -Wish Foundation Britney was able to celebrate her fourth birthday in Disney World, where her dream of meeting Mickey and Minnie Mouse finally came true. Britney’s enjoyments were found in princess, princess dress and stories. She loved being photographed and being danced with. Although Britney faced multiple challenges, she was still able to enjoy life to the fullest. She was the perfect combination of princess and a warrior. Though our time with Britney was too short, her impact was immeasurable, and her spirit will live on in our hearts forever.
