Dorothy M. Castañeda 49, peacefully passed away at her home on October 15, 2022, in Kingsville, Tx. She was born on March 27, 1973, to Jose and Diana Mendoza. The baby of 3 siblings.

She attended school in Kingsville, Tx. Worked several fast-food restaurants and spent the remaining of her years working as a home health provider, mainly for her mother.

She was an avid softball player; it was her passion. A woman of strong Catholic faith, whose most important priority in life was raising her two sons Diego and Joey and loving them both endlessly.
