CASTRO, Doris Lucille

Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ - Posted: Wednesday, November 5, 2014 - Doris Lucille Castro, age 86, passed away Oct. 26, 2014. She was born to Ralph and Stella Talbot, Jan. 22, 1928 in Kansas City, Mo. Doris married Walter Castro in 1960, in Covina, Calif. They moved to Hilo, Hawaii in 1970 where they enjoyed life on their four-acre ranch. After Doris retired from the Retail Clerks Union, she and Walter moved back to California in 1987 to be closer to her children and grandchildren. They lived in Victorville, Calif., and in 1995 moved to Lake Havasu City. Doris enjoyed gardening, quilting, baking cookies and occasional trips to Las Vegas and Laughlin. She was partial to cats, her favorite flower was the rose and she collected angels. Every three years she looked forward to attending her Talbot Family Reunion, which began in 1983—and she never missed one. She was active in the Grace Episcopal Church, Lake Havasu City. Her church family was very important to her. She is survived by her two children; daughter, Karen (Bryan) Bruton of Burnet, Texas; son, Donald (Bobbi) Holmes of Lake Havasu City; brothers, John Talbot of Oregon and Bill (Leona) Talbot of Idaho; granddaughters, Michelle Erlewine (Charles Delgado) of California, Wendi Jarrell of Texas, Elizabeth (Joe) Mackey of California; grandson, Robert Scott (SeAnne) Holmes of Oregon; great-granddaughters Ada, Julia, Delia, Addison; great-grandsons, Brantley and Evan, and several beloved nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her first husband, Robert Holmes; second husband Walter Castro; parents, and brother, Richard Talbot. A celebration of her life will be at 11 a.m., Saturday, at the Grace Episcopal Church, 111 Bunker Drive. She will be interred at the Grace Episcopal Church Memorial Garden with her husband Walter. Services were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home and Crematory. Thoughts and condolences may be sent to Doris’s family at www.lietz-frazefuneralhome.com.
