Lydia Castro

Lydia Campos Castro, 82, of Bartlett passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by her family on Tuesday, March 26, 2024. Lydia was born on August 3, 1941 in Cadereyta, Nuevo Leon, Mexico to Felix and Maria Jesusita Campos.

She was preceded in death by her brothers, Adolfo, Daniel, Samuel, David, Elias and sisters Juanita and Jesusita.

Lydia was a loving mother to Mary Susan Pierce (Samuel), Elizabeth Ann Bell (Buddy) and Iris Castro, all of Bartlett.

She also leaves behind her siblings Margarita Solis, Celia Lopez and Joe Campos.

She never met a stranger she didn’t turn into a friend. You’d often find her making lists of goodies to give to the people working in her community, and donating to anyone who was in need. She enjoyed spending her free time gardening and planting flowers. Those who knew her, knew her witty sense of humor, and how she loved to make people laugh. No matter the adversities she faced, her funny loving personality remained intact.
