Angelina Castro Obituary

Mrs. Angelina T. Castro departed this world on March 21, 2010 in Visalia at the age of 81. Angelina was born October 26, 1928 in Sinaloa, Mexico to Francisco and Tomasa Tirado. She was a homemaker and a long time member and co-founder of the Spanish 7th Day Adventist churches of Lindsay, Woodlake, Goshen, and Tulare. She was an avid reader and also enjoyed singing. Angelina was a very talented poetess and did not hesitate to use her talent in several church and public events. She was a devoted mother, caring grandmother, and an outstanding friend. Angelina went out of her way to assist and support anybody that needed her assistance or just a listening ear. She is survived by eight sons and three daughters; one brother and numerous grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by Francisco Castro, her loving husband of 60 years, three sons/daughters, 14 brothers/ sisters. She is now resting and sleeping in peace until the Lord comes and wakes her up to eternal life. The Castro family on behalf of Angelina would like to thank the following people: 1. All those who prayed for her. 2. All the friends who came to her aid when she was in need and cheered her up. 3. The stranger who opened a door for her, gave her a hello or smiled as she passed by. 4. All the young people who so caringly wanted to help her get into her car. 5. To all the Nurses at KDH who diligently attended to her in her time of need. 6. To Dr. Dela Cerna who was so patient and caring and whom she considered as another son. May the LORD bless you and keep you and let his light shine upon you and give you peace. An evening vigil service will be held Wednesday March 24, 2010, 6:00pm at Salser & Dillard Funeral Chapel. A chapel service will be held Thursday March 25, 2010, 10:00am at Salser & Dillard Funeral Chapel, followed by a graveside at Visalia District Cemetery.

Mi muy querida e inolvidable Familia Castro. Lamento mucho su perdida. Mi mas sincero pesame para toda la familia. Sinceramento los acompano en este momento tan doloroso.
Tengo bonitos recuerdos de la hermana Castro. Me acuerdo cuando ibamos a muchas iglesias a hacer nuestra famosa "Play". La hermana Castro era la protagonista de una madre sufrida con sus manos quemadas y su hija Chela hacia el papel de una hija mala y malcriada que se avergonzaba de las manos de su madre. Al final tenian ellas dos a toda la iglesia llorando con el drama y eso ocurria en cada iglesia que visitabamos. Yo era la amiga de Chela que le aconsejaba que nadie sabe lo que tiene hasta que lo ve perdido.
Que Dios los bendiga y les de fuerzas, paz y resignacion.
Los queremos mucho...

Dear Castro Family,

As your neighbors, we have observed and been blest by the loving children you have all been to your dear, sweet mother, Angelina. It is evident that her love for the LORD and her family resulted in receiving great love and honor from you all. Each time we would see her "out for a stroll" with Petra, she always had a sweet smile and a peaceful spirit even though she physically dealt with so much. Our love and sympathy is with you in your most precious loss. We rejoice with you in that Angelina is with the LORD and free of her physical infirmaties.
God bless you all
