Loretta Guadalupe Castro

Loretta G. Castro
December 29, 1920 – May 3, 2020

After 99 years of love, guidance and example the loving soul of our Loretta moved on to a well-deserved rest, filled with comfort. Our family learned by living example the true value of our lives, the importance of acceptance, and the inner strength to challenge the obstacles that would come our way. A family elder has moved on, yet the spirit of this remarkable woman remains in our souls and offers solace to our wounded hearts.
