February 12, 1931 - May 12, 2020
Our beloved Mother, Grandmother and Great -grandmother, Maria DeJesus (Chuy) Castro, age 89, passed away on May 12, 2020. Mom was preceded in death by our father, Reyes Castro Guzman. Mom was the daughter of Clara Davila and Jose Aldrete. At a very young age, she came to the United States to join our father. For many years, she worked as a farm worker where she also met many of her life long friends. Her biggest fulfillment was raising her four children. She loved to read, watch novelas and speak on the phone with family and friends. Maria (Chuy) is survived by her daughter, Olga Rosario Cota (Ralph Cota), Guillermo Castro, Mario Castro and Reyes Castro, Jr. (Bertha Arvizu), seven grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and many relatives and very close friends. Our family wishes to thank all family members and friends for all your support. However, due to the circumstances faced by our community, burial services will be held privately on Tuesday, May 26, 2020 at Hillcrest Memorial Park and Mortuary located at 9101 Kern Canyon Road, Bakersfield, California. Thank you for your support and understanding, and know that a celebration of Maria's (Chuy) life will be held at later date.
