Carmen was a woman who embodied the very essence of love, kindness and unwavering strength. Her presence was a beacon of warmth in the lives of her children and grandchildren, and her legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
She loved her children and grandchildren and the man who stole her heart 68 years ago, Santos, more than anything. She would ask for him until her last days.
Those left behind to cherish her memory include her son, Joe Santos Castillo Jr.; her caretaker and granddaughter, Patricia Anne Ibarra; ten grandchildren and twenty-one great-grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her longtime companion and soulmate, Santos Castillo and children, Lorenzo “Larry” Castillo, Adam Castillo, Robert “Bobby” Castillo and Martha “Marti” Castillo.
