Alma Castaneda was a kind hearted woman who always thought of others before herself. She was the one who saw the good things in people before offering judgement.  She was very fond of eating and was always eager to provide food for everyone, whether it’d be a small gathering at home or an outing with her loved ones. Best known for encouraging everyone to save money, she was never short in offering what she has to anyone in need

She will always be remembered and will be missed dearly.
