August 16, 1928 – October 26, 2024

Our dear mother, Maria Castillo Moreno, a beloved matriarch, passed away peacefully at the age of 96 on Saturday, October 26, 2024. Born on August 16, 1928, in Kyle, Texas to Valdo and Cruz D. Castillo, she was the second oldest of seven children and lived a vibrant life filled with love and laughter.

A woman of remarkable strength, determination, and unwavering faith in God, she nurtured strong family bonds that have endured through generations. Her legacy lives on in her 31 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren, and 14 great-great-grandchildren, all of whom will carry her memory in their hearts.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Natividad, her oldest daughter, Josephine and three siblings Ernestina, Sophia, and Angel. She leaves behind seven children and their spouses: Margarita (and Luis), Janie (and Joe), Rose Marie (and Jack), Adela (and Johnny), Carolina (and Michael), Joe (and Michelle), and Mario (and David); and three siblings: Celia, Josephine, and Valdo Jr.
