Eleanor Castillo

She is survived by her two sons, Daniel and Colin, and daughter, Kelsey; their spouses Gemma, Carly, and Carlos; her grandchildren David, Robyn, Hannah, Richard, and Aiden; and her brothers and sisters in St. Louis, MO, David, Kevin, Shawn, Kelly, Helen, Madeline, Kathy, Paula, Colleen, and their families. She was preceded in death by her parents, Daniel and Hannah Hagan, “Hoppi and Honey,” as well as her spouses, Richard “Rick” Castillo and David Wise.

Elly was born in St. Louis, MO, where she spent her formative years growing up in the Catholic church and attending private school. She moved to San Antonio to attend college at St. Mary's University, where she met her husband, Rick. She proceeded to earn both her bachelor's and master's degrees in finance and flourished in the insurance industry as well as working as an auditor for the county courthouse before retiring. She was also a strong advocate for supporting those in need and regularly donated her time and resources to several non-profits in San Antonio.

It was in retirement that she was given her highest honor and title as “Nana” to her grandchildren. She loved to spend her Sunday hosting family dinners and playing with her grandchildren. She was a loving and generous wife, mother, grandmother, and friend to many. She will be dearly missed by all who were touched by her life.
