She Lived Loud, Loved Fierce – Rest Easy Carol

Donation protected
Our hearts are broken as we share the sudden and unexpected loss of our sister, Carol Castillo, who passed away in her sleep on July 30, 2025.

Carol wasn’t just a sister or a mom — she was a force of nature. She was wild in the best way, full of laughter, full of love, and unapologetically herself. If you knew her, you know she lit up every room she walked into. She could make you laugh until you cried, dance when no music was playing, and find joy in even the worst days.

She leaves behind two beautiful daughters, Alyssa & Jasmine, and her grand daughter Coast. Her daughters were her world, and in so many ways, they carry her spirit — her strength, her fire, and her laughter.

Right now, we’re doing everything we can to give Carol the sendoff she deserves and make sure her girls are supported in the days, months, and years to come. We’re raising funds to help cover funeral expenses, provide for the girls’ immediate needs, and ease some of the burden this loss has placed on our family.

If you knew Carol, you know how much she gave of herself to others — now we’re asking for help to give back to her and her daughters. Every donation, every share, and every kind word means the world to us.

Thank you for showing up for our family. We miss her more than words can say.

Please note ** Services for Carol have not been scheduled and we will update everyone, once a date is set.
