Isidra Clara Castillo, a generous and loving soul, born in Amarillo, Texas on October 18th, 1984, lived her life embodying the true essence of kindness and thoughtfulness. A smart woman with an indomitable spirit, Isidra’s life was a testament to love, resilience, and selflessness. Her infectious laughter and passion for singing and dancing filled every room she entered with joy and celebration. Isidra was a beacon of light, a homemaker whose heart knew no bounds when it came to caring for her family. Her love for her children was unparalleled, they were her world, her joy, and her pride. Isidra was more than a beautiful person; she was filled with love and generosity, her thoughtfulness touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
Isidra is survived by an extensive family who cherished her deeply. Her ex-husband, Joe Castillo; her children, Nathaniel Thompson, Ezekiel Castillo, Delilah Castillo, and Jesse Castillo; mother, Lisa Romero; her father, John David Martinez Sr; her siblings, Carmen Martinez (Abelino), Joshua Romero (Victoria), Carl Romero, Andrew Romero, John Israel Sr. (Stephanie), Laura Jara (Mario), Arlene Martinez, John David Jr. (Kimberly), and Joey Martinez (Laura). Each of them held a unique and special place in her heart. Her absence leaves a void that can never be filled, but her memory will forever be etched in the hearts of her loved ones. As we remember Isidra, we are reminded of her charm, her generosity, and her unwavering love for her family. Her legacy will live on through the lives she touched and the love she shared.
We invite all who knew and loved Isidra to share their memories, stories, and photos on her memorial page. Let us come together to celebrate the beautiful life of Isidra Castillo, a woman who was generous, loving, thoughtful, and smart. Let us remember her not for her absence, but for the love and joy she brought into our lives.

Cousin,
I’m so sorry this happened to you. I love you and miss you dearly. I remember when I was 9-10 years old and I used to live with you, Carl and Andrew, and all I can remember is your smile and how happy you always were. The last time seen you was at Aunt Barbara’s funeral and we sat with Grandma Carmen and Grandma Mary, eating dinner and just laughing having a great time. I will always cherish the little moments because they mean so much. I love you always!!!!

Isidra is the aunt to my son, my sister by choice and a beautiful soul I could never forget. She had just the right combination of sugar & spice. She was a joy to be around and we had some of the best spur of the moment adventures. I was fortunate enough to have spoken to her just hours before her passing and I will forever be grateful for that opportunity. I will miss her dearly as my heart longs to have one more adventure with her. Until we meet again sister, you will remain in my memories and forever in my heart. Love you always.
I remember when all my Tia Isidra did was pray for everyone and everything when I was a kid. She loved to speak to me about God. She didn’t deserve this tragic death. Her heart was pure and soul was free and beautiful. I will miss my Tia Isidra forever. The last thing she told me was she was proud of me. But I’m proud of he for just for living and trying to be better everyday. Long Live Isidra! ❤️?️?
Isidra,
Wow this is still so hard to accept. I am going to miss your late night calls and texts. I remember the time we took uncle peewee when he was sick from ur mom’s and took him to caprock field w the baseball he wanted for some reason and all the laughs we shared that night. You will be truly missed. As u would say
.. I love you cousin. I guess God needed his angel back .. tell uncle peewee hi and give him a big hug and kiss for me. I’ll see u again one day and will always remember your laughter and heart of gold. U will be deeply missed.
Cousin,
In life we all grow older, build a family and become distant. The one thing that always stays the same is love for one another. I remember when I was going through my divorce and I went to a bbq with the family. You came to me and asked me if I had God in my life and if I went to church. I told you yes God has always been in my life. You smiled, looked at me and said it will be okay. You knew my heart was torn and I needed to hear that. Isidra’s silent smile will remain apart of me for life.
Cousin you will be missed dearly.
Isidra, I will never forget your beautiful smile,your beautiful spirit,and your infectious laugh. I remember you used to talk about how much you loved your children and your love for God. Though I haven’t talked to you in years,I can’t count all the times I’ve thought about you. You left such a beautiful mark on my life and I will never forget your sweet soul. Rip Isidra.

Enjoyed drinking coffee with her and just talking to her at her home. She was a good mother to her children and a great wife. She loved reading her Bible while enjoying her coffee. She had the most beautiful smile,she will be missed.
Isidra you will certainly be missed by everyone you touched! I’m definitely better from knowing you! Our friendship was many years ago but still fresh on my mind of how beautiful a person you are. You will always be in my heart.
Isidra I’m so sorry this has happened, Our friendship was years ago but still fresh in my heart. You will certainly be missed by all those who knew and loved you. Prayers for all your loved ones.
She loved her children the way every mother should!
Cidra to hear about what happened to you broke my heart ? I remember going to going to visit and you were always cooking for us and we would sit and talk about God for a long time, but I would see the joy and hunger you had to know more. I will miss you and your beautiful smile. I thought I would see you on Delilah’s birthday party, but I was wrong God called you home. Until we meet again fly high! Love you forever ❤️??
Here I wait for you to come visit us, and I know that I won’t see you physically. But you’ll be in our thoughts forever. RIP sobrina. Love always uncle Dino& tia Becky
