Maria De Rosario Castaneda's Obituary
During her life, Charito was known as a give, a caretaker, a woman of god, as sister, a loving wife, nurturing mother, and an exceptional grandmother. She was blessed to have been able to raise her two sons and see them marry, out of which she was given a daughter. She created ever-lasting memories with her 8 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. Although, she claimed many many more. She cherished the moments she had with all eleven of her siblings and loved them all.
She was a pillar of her community. Dedicated her life to helping others, opening her home to those in need. It didn't matter if it was staying up until 2 am to finish a cake or make a dress from scratch. She was always willing to go the extra mile.
She created life and lived it fierce fully. She embodied the Holy Spirit and lived her life accordingly, her faith never wavered. She wholeheartedly believed she was put on this earth to help others.
Her arrival into her next life will be as monumental as her departure from this life was. She will truly be missed.
However, it was her greatest wish to remember her and her laugh, to spare our tears for she believed she was moving on to a better place. To be reunited with her God, her parents, and her son.
