Obituary

Maria Micaela Castro was born on May 3, 1928, in Cuilapa, Guatemala, blessing her family and friends for 93 years, until departing to be with the Lord on July 8, 2021. Maria was born to a family that cultivated their coffee, banana, and ranch holdings in Guatemala. However, she provided for herself outside of the family business in Accounting before coming to the United States in her thirties. On July 21, 1962, she married Rodolfo Castro and they lived most of their lives in San Juan Capistrano, raising three children. In their later years they moved to Ventura, California to be near their loving daughter, Diana. Diana was generous in her care for Rodolfo and Maria in their final years. Maria was devoted to Rodolfo for more than 50 years and she grieved his death in 2018. Rodolfo and Maria leave behind their three children Diana, Edward (and his wife Cara) and Charlie and six loving and devoted granddaughters, Carissa, Alexandra, Isabella, Catalina, Sofia and Gianna. In loving recognition of Maria Micaela, Isabella and Sofia honor and remember their grandmother in their names, Isabella Maria and Sofia Micaela. Maria was a devout religious Catholic, instilling a love of Christ in her children. The family takes solace in Maria’s current presence with the Lord.
Family and friends are invited to a Funeral Mass at 10:00am on July 31, 2021 in the Mission Basilica San Buenaventura, 211 E Main St, Ventura, CA 93001.
