In Loving Memory of
Carmen S. Castro Rodriguez
March 18, 1954 – February 10, 2026
Carmen S. Castro Rodriguez, age 71, entered into eternal rest on February 10, 2026. She was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, daughter, sister, and dear friend.
Carmen was the light and the pillar of our family. Her love, warmth, and kindness touched everyone who had the blessing of knowing her. A devoted Christian, she loved God deeply and lived her life with unwavering faith and strength. Her favorite Bible verse was Philippians 4:13: “Todo lo puedo en Cristo que me fortalece.” — “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” She truly lived by those words every day.
Carmen loved to cook, crochet, and do word puzzles, but above all, she cherished spending time with her family. Her home was always filled with love, laughter, and unity. She was immensely proud of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
After courageously battling cancer for 40 years, along with other illnesses, God called her home at the age of 71, ending her suffering and welcoming her into His eternal peace. While our hearts are heavy with sorrow, we find comfort in knowing she is now with the Lord, free from pain and resting in his embrace.
She is survived by her beloved mother, Neida Luisa Rodriguez Torres;
her brother, Luis Felipe Castro Rodriguez;
her sister, Isabel Castro Rodriguez
& her sister Evenlyn Figueroa Rodriguez.
