DOLORES CASTILLO

A Life of Faith, Family, and Love

Dolores Castillo, a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones.

Born on August 28, 1935, in Corona, California, Dolores was one of 14 children—a reflection of her early life rooted in family, faith, and love. She spent her formative years in Corona, where she developed the strong values and deep faith that she would later pass on to her children.

Dolores dedicated her early adult life to being a devoted stay-at-home mother. She raised her children with care and intention, instilling in them the importance of faith, family, and compassion.

In her later years, Dolores brought that same love and dedication beyond the home. For the past six years, she lived in Brea, California, where she continued to be the heart and soul of her family.

Known for her sharp mind, honesty, and loving spirit, Dolores was cherished by all who knew her. She shared boundless love, wisdom, and a quiet strength that shaped generations.

She had a zest for life—enjoying shoe shopping with her daughters, working crossword puzzles, attending family gatherings, getting her nails and hair done, and dining out.

Cherished and Remembered

Dolores was preceded in death by her husband, Serafin Castillo, and her son, Alfred Castillo.

She is survived by her children:

• Hilda Bartee (Scott)

• Antonio Castillo

• Margaret Hernandez (Richard)

• Dianne Castillo

• Irene Feaster (Mark)

• Ray Castillo

• Monica Fetzer (Bill)

She also leaves behind:

• 20 grandchildren

• 29 great-grandchildren

• Several great-great-grandchildren

Dolores loved her family deeply and took immense joy in watching each generation grow.

Her Legacy

Her legacy lives on through her children and grandchildren, who continue to carry forward her faith, her values, and her unconditional love.

Dolores’s life was a beautiful testament to the strength of family, the power of faith, and the enduring gift of love. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

“He will wipe every tear from their eyes.

There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain,

for the old order of things has passed away.”
