Monica Castro Cantu

Monica married the love of her life, John Cantu, on February 22, 2013, in Corpus Christi, Texas. Together, they shared a life filled with love, memories, and family.

Monica was employed as a floor technician with E.S.F.M. She was a woman who took great pride in herself and her appearance. She loved fashion and always making sure she looked her best. Her love for traveling, entertaining, and spending time with family and friends brought her so much happiness.

Monica had a personality that was truly one of a kind. She was funny, loving, kind hearted, and generous. She was known for her long talks, always giving advice, joking around, and keeping everyone smiling. Some of her favorite memories included trips to Las Vegas, family barbecues, parties, decorating for special occasions and holidays, and simply enjoying the company of those she loved. She loved to sing, stay fashionable, keep a clean and beautiful home, and make every gathering special.

Above all, Monica will be remembered as a devoted wife, a loving mother, a proud grandmother, and a cherished friend. Her family was her world, and she found her greatest joy in being surrounded by the people she loved. Her beautiful smile, laughter, generosity, and unforgettable personality will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Those who preceded Monica in eternal rest include her father, Felipe Castro; her sister, Felicia Castro; her grandmother, Helda Castro; as well as her brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and father-in-law.

Those left to cherish her precious memory include her loving husband, John Cantu; her mother, Cendy Castro; her children, Rosa, Katelynn, John, Mya, Justin, and Lydia; her siblings, Valerie Garcia, Armando Castro, Adriana Zuniga, and Berardo Castro; and her five beautiful grandchildren, who brought her so much joy.

Monica's life was filled with love, laughter, friendship, and countless unforgettable memories. Though her time here was far too short, the love she gave and the memories she created will live on forever. She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
