Jane was born to Antonio & Lupe Levario on October 22, 1949, in Albuquerque, NM. She passed away,
peacefully on Tuesday, April 18, 2023.
Jane married Erminio Castillo on June 4, 1968 in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. Together they raised four
daughters and one son.
Jane typically worked as a cook throughout her life. She was a fabulous cook, and her food was always
delicious. She often shared her tips, tricks and secrets to cooking. At one point, Jane, along with her
husband, owned and operated a restaurant, Los Castillo’s in Las Vegas, New Mexico.
Jane lived in Vaughn and Las Vegas, New Mexico for most of her life. She briefly lived in Mountain
Home, Arkansas and Hobbs, New Mexico before moving to Slaton to be with her sister.
Jane loved life. She loved to go fishing, especially lake fishing for trout. She was good at home
economics, she loved to sew, crochet, and cook. She loved Sonic cokes, Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets,
shopping trips (especially to Kohls), she loved flowers, and desserts (she especially loved homemade
cracker jacks). She loved to laugh, and that laugh was contagious. The one thing Aunt Jane loved the
most was family and she especially loved time spent with family.

While here in Slaton, Jane was very well cared for by the staff at Bridge Hospice. She often spoke of
how much she liked everyone that she met from Bridge Hopsice. In just a short amount of time, Jane
developed a special relationship with her nurse, Lindsey. Jane would often mention, “I love Lindsey,
she’s really nice”.
The family of Jane Castillo would like to thank Bridge Hospice for all their care and support while walking
through this journey with Jane.
