With profound sorrow and broken hearts, we announce the passing of Antoinette Francesca Castro, who was called to be with our Lord on June 3, 2025, at the age of 32.

She is reunited in Heaven with her son, Zachariah Castro; father, Joe Anthony Castro; grandfathers, Joe Castro and Santos Fuentes.

She is survived by her sons: Vincent De Leon and Ayden Castro; mother, Anna Elisa Castro; father, Leonard Martinez; her sister, Sarah Martinez; grandparents, Vangie and Robert Viesca, Maria B. Fuentes; great grand-mother, Rebecca Davila, and a large circle of extended family and friends who will forever carry her memory in their hearts.
Born on December 22, 1992, in San Antonio, Texas, Antoinette was a devoted mother, beloved daughter, and cherished friend. Her greatest pride and the very center of her universe were her two sons, Vincent and Ayden. She poured her heart into raising them, and everything she did was for them. To know Antoinette was to know a woman whose love knew no bounds, especially when it came to her boys.

Antoinette found joy in life's simple pleasures, especially taking trips to the beach and fishing with Vincent and Ayden by her side. These were not just hobbies—they were sacred moments she shared with her sons, creating memories that they will carry with them forever. The peacefulness of the waves and the quiet excitement of reeling in a catch were reflections of the peace and joy she felt being with her children. Her kind heart, warm smile, and vibrant spirit touched the lives of everyone who knew her. Antoinette had a natural gift for making others feel loved and welcome. She will be remembered not only for her devotion as a mother, but also for her strength, selflessness, and the unwavering love she gave so freely.

She leaves behind not only her beloved sons but also a legacy of love, perseverance, and unshakable devotion to family. Though our hearts are broken, we are grateful for the time we had with her and the memories we will carry forward. She will be forever missed, and forever remembered.
