Shana Michelle Welch, age 59, passed away peacefully on August 26, 2026, in San Antonio, Texas. She was born on July 5, 1967, in Memphis, Texas, to Lupe Hernandez and Judy Hernandez.

Shana married the love of her life, Keith Welch, on April 10, 1997, in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Together, they built a life centered around family, love, laughter, and creating lasting memories.

Shana was a driven and accomplished businesswoman who served as a Director of Operations in the healthcare industry. She was known for her determination, leadership, and ability to bring out the very best in the people around her, both in life and in her professional career.

Outside of work, Shana found great joy in the simple things that brought people together. She loved baking, decorating, spending time with her family, playing cards and board games, and singing. She had a vibrant personality and was truly the life of the party. A natural overachiever, Shana gave her all to everything she did and encouraged those around her to believe in themselves and reach their full potential.

Shana was preceded in death by her mother, Judy Hernandez.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Keith Welch; her children, Meagan Welch, Cameron Welch, and Paige Kagen; her father, Lupe Hernandez; and her siblings, Monica Smith, Sheila Hernandez, Lupe Hernandez Jr., and Carmelita Love. She leaves behind a loving family and countless friends whose lives were touched by her warmth, strength, humor, and generous spirit.

Shana will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

  1. Dearest Family,

    Shana was a North Star—someone who brought light, wisdom, grace, and a sense of humor like no other. Her friendship was a true gift to me and to so many who were fortunate enough to know and love her.

    Please know that the Premise family has been holding you close in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers. Our prayers have not stopped, and neither has our love for Shana. We are numb from her loss and miss her more than words can express.

    Yesterday, we gathered as a team for a time of reflection and shared stories of Shana. I wish you could have seen the tears and the laughter in that room. It was a beautiful reminder of the love, compassion, joy, and connection she created among all of us. Her presence touched so many lives, and her light will continue to shine through the people she loved and the lives she changed.

    Please know how deeply special and loved Shana was—and always will be—to all of us.

    May God bless you, comfort you, and surround you with peace during this difficult time.

    With love and deepest sympathy,
    Shana’s friend

  2. For the past four years, I have had the privilege and honor of working closely with Shana at Premise Health. Over that time, we became much more than colleagues. We became dear friends.

    We shared countless laughs and, at times, shed a few tears together, but through it all, I always knew she had my back. Shana was fiercely loyal, deeply caring, and brought a positive spirit wherever she went. She was incredibly proud of her team and treasured the friendships she built along the way.

    I cannot begin to imagine the depth of the loss you are experiencing right now. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

    Shana was truly loved by so many, and we are all better people for having known her. Her kindness, friendship, and unwavering support will remain with us always. She will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

  4. Shana was an amazing mentor and friend. I was fortunate to work with her. She was an encourager and always did what she could to build others up. Shana loved to have a good time and she had the best laugh. I will always remember how she greeted me and said my name with enthusiasm and her bright smile.
    Shana worked hard and strived for excellence in everything she did.
    She was so unbelievably proud of her children and her grandchildren (they are her greatest accomplishments).
    To say I’m going to miss her is an understatement. I know she is soaring with the eagles.

  8. Shana’s impact in her work environment cannot be described adequately, and I’m sure this was magnified in her personal world. She was a bright light. Smart. Hilarious. Hard worker. Exceptional leader. I recall being with her in an airport and laughing so hard. Same experience at a restaurant for a team dinner. I’ve stayed in touch with her though haven’t worked with her for years. She was simply special and touched the lives of so many people. May she rest in peace.

  9. Shana was such a beautiful soul. I was blessed to work along side of her for many years. She always made me feel like a rockstar! In an industry where so many people were quick to see the shortcomings Shana was quick to see the potential in everyone! She fast became a dear friend whom I cherished! Her laughter was the infectious and her smile lit up every room she was in. I’m sad that I’ll no longer be able to call her but I will cherish all the memories! Fly high my precious friend! Until we meet again! Heaven has gained a beautiful, beautiful soul.

  10. Matthew 5:16 says, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Our family had the pleasure of knowing Shana for almost 20 years as her neighbors. During that time, she shined a light on others through her unlimited kindness and love. We will miss her dearly, but we will hold on to the example that she has set. May your hearts take comfort in the beautiful and lasting memories you created together.

    With Love,
    The Miller Family (Eric, Michelle, Mia, Mikaela, and Marcus)
