Nancy M. Hernandez

Nancy Marie (Pagels) Hernandez, 63, of Perrysburg, Ohio, lost her battle with cancer and passed away, December 27, 2023, peacefully with her loving husband, Robert, by her side. Nancy was born on August 11, 1960 to Florence and William Pagels. She graduated from Bowser High School in 1978 and attended Ross College. In October of 1981, Nancy married her soul mate, Robert Hernandez, and from day one, they did everything together for 42 blissful years.

Nancy was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother; she was devoted to supporting her son's in whatever they did. During their years of baseball and football, whether it was practices, weight training or games; she was always there and encouraging. When her grandchildren began playing sports, she was there cheering and supporting their efforts – she was a proud grandma!

Nancy was a hard worker; she held positions with Foodtown, Bax Global, and a variety of manufacturing plants. Later in life, she decided to change her course and pursued training as a medical assistant. She successfully completed her training and worked for a cardiologists office for two years until the physician retired from practice.

We will remember Nancy for her amazing smile, her humor, her contagious laugh, her genuine caring for others, her love of the outdoors, white tigers and dolphins, the way she took such care at stoking a campfire, and any Disney movie. Some of her favorite things to do were traveling with Bob, lazy days on their boat up at Irish Hills, MI, fishing and soaking up the sun, walking on the beach (any beach) while searching the horizon for dolphins, sea turtles or whales! Sunrises and sunsets were a daily treat, drawing strength from God's wonder, and of course, loving on her sweet Heidi, their Corgi. She was a die-hard fan of the Detroit Tigers and Lions, as well as the Michigan Wolverines and could be found in front of the TV supporting each team, regardless of their record. She herself was a competitor, she loved a good volleyball game, bowling, shuffleboard, and playing Euchre.

Nancy is survived by her husband, Robert; sons, Keith (Jennifer) and Kevin; three grandchildren who lite up her world, Candice, Derek and Faith; brother, David Pagels, and sister, Rhonda (Pagels) Drzewiecki. Nancy was preceded in death by her parents. A memorial service will be held sometime in April, details to be announced. A special thank you to Hospice of Northwest Ohio for their support and care.
