Alma Castillo Obituary

Edinburg - It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Alma Aguirre Castillo, age 65, who left us too early and peacefully surrounded by her loving family. Alma was a devoted wife to her beloved husband, Antonio (Tony) Castillo, and a cherished mother to her three children: Michael (Celina), Alina (Pete), and Sabrina (Pilar). She took immense pride in her role as a grandmother to her grandchildren, Ezrah, Kailani, and Athena, who brought her endless joy and laughter.

Alma was born to Ramiro Aguirre Sr. and Maria Guadalupe Segura, both of whom have passed away. She is survived by her loving siblings: Ida (Artemio) Contreras, Mary (Javier) Villegas, José (Maggie) Aguirre, Beatriz (Jorge) Gonzalez, Rene Apps, and Ricky Apps.

Alma had a profound love for life, which was evident in her passion for traveling, particularly on cruises where she found solace and adventure. She held a special fondness for lighthouses, drawn to their beauty and symbolism of guidance and hope. Whether exploring new destinations or simply enjoying the warmth of family gatherings, Alma treasured every moment spent with her loved ones.

Her vibrant spirit and loving nature left an indelible mark on all who knew her. Alma's legacy will live on through the cherished memories she created with her family and friends. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered for her kindness, laughter, and unwavering love.

Visitation will be held from 5 to 8 p.m., with a 6 p.m. rosary, Monday, December 9, 2024, at Memorial Funeral Home, 208 E Canton in Edinburg. Funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, December 10, 2024, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Edinburg. Interment will follow at Hillcrest Memorial Park in Edinburg.

Funeral services are under the direction of Memorial Funeral Home in Edinburg.

I am so very saddened to learn of Alma´s passing. She and I were coworkers at a local bank and became friends. She was one of my supervisors and she led by quiet leadership and example. She was so proud of her children who were the same age as mine. She also loved Tony deeply. We had lost contact over the years but I´m glad that we reconnected via social media a couple of months ago. I loved seeing the pictures that she would share of her travels with Tony, her children and grandchildren. Her love of life and family was evident in her pictures.
I want to express my deepest and most sincere condolences to Tony, her children and grandchildren and her entire family. May God comfort and console you in this time of grief. May my friend, Alma, Rest In the Perpetual Light of our Father and in the Peace and Presence of our Lord, Jesus, whom she loved and served and had an undeniable faith in.
