Rutila García Castilleja
September 12, 1932 - February 17, 2012
We thought of you
with love today.
But that is nothing new.
We thought about
you yesterday
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have
are memories,
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is
our keepsake.
With which we’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.
Mamá,…we love and miss you very much
—de parte de tu familia.

Rutila G. Castilleja
Sept. 12, 1932 - Feb. 17, 2012 It’s been 10 months since you’ve been gone; our hearts still ache as if it were yesterday. Not a day goes by that we don’t think of you; we love and miss you dearly. “Merry Christmas, Mom!”
—Love from all of us: your husband Marcelino and your children Gloria, Dora, Esther, Ruth, Olga, David, Rachel, Steve, Marty, Lucy, Tom, and Jesse.

RUTILA GARCÍA DE CASTILLEJA
September 12, 1932 to February 17, 2012
On February 17, 2012, Rutila “Ruth” García Castilleja of Genoa, Ohio passed away at her home surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Houston, Texas on September 12, 1932, to John and Mary (née Guerra) García and married Marcelino “Ino” Castilleja in Covington, Kentucky on March 28, 1949.
As part of Arbor Day, the Village of Genoa honored Mrs. Castilleja, along with Dennis Aeschliman, Dean Hennen, and Ray Schell, who also passed away in 2011 – 2012. Genoa mayor Mark Williams presided, with a planting of a Tulip Poplar tree by various friends and relatives including her husband Ino and brother Joe García (as shown in photo). Also, present were tree commission members, Boy Scout Troop 385, and Cub Scout Pack 310.
Rutila, or Ruth as she was sometimes lovingly called, enjoyed cooking, listening to music (especially Tejano, Elvis, and Johnny Cash), and traveling. She loved preparing dozens of tamales throughout the year for her family and friends, with the help of her dozen children—the preparation of tamales became an important social activity even after her twelve children became adults and became parents of their own.
God Bless Rutila García de Castilleja!
