Sylvia Renae Fernandez, 54, of Watauga, Texas, passed away on Monday, June 16, 2025.

Sylvia was born on October 26, 1970, to parents Luisa and Reynaldo Garza, the youngest of 7 siblings. She graduated from the University of Phoenix with a bachelor’s degree in business and went on to a career with BNSF Railway as an Engineering Support Specialist. She enjoyed photography, specializing in portraits. She was an avid renaissance faire patron and cast member, spending a few years bringing many smiles to people at the local renaissance festival. She was also known to many as a “Halloween enthusiast.”

She is survived by her husband Christian, daughters Reyna and Magenta, granddaughters Emilia and Katherine, sisters Linda, Irma, Diana, and Rosalinda, brothers Hilario, Ricky and Sonny, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. She is preceded in death by her father Reynaldo, mother Luisa, sisters Janie and Delia, and brother Wally.

She was an amazing mother, wife, sister, aunt, and friend. She will be remembered for her big heart, her laugh, and her radiant spirit. She was a force of nature, an all-around badass chick, and a beautiful soul who touched so many lives and will be greatly missed by many.

A celebration of life will be held on July 27, 2025, time and location TBD.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the National Kidney Foundation or the American Heart Association in Sylvia’s memory.

The family wishes to thank everyone who has reached out with love and support during this difficult time.

She has found her sky – and you can’t take that from her.
