Born July 31, 1937, Mrs. Castille was a resident of Lafayette, Louisiana and later resided in Carencro. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She touched not only our family’s lives in a special way, but all those who knew her. She lived her life and her faith with a humble and quiet strength. For anyone who crossed her path, she had a smile waiting. She had a great love for her family and friends and trusted in God’s gentle Grace. She thought of others before herself and always had a kind word for everyone. Her strength and courage was an inspiration for all and her love showed through her actions. Her life was a blessing and she will be deeply missed.

Survivors include her three sons, Harold Touchet and his wife, Judy, of Youngsville, Randy Castille and his wife, Connie, of New Iberia, Florent Castille, III., and his girlfriend, Bobbie, of Carencro and one daughter, Elizabeth Alleman and her husband, PJ, of Lafayette. She had ten grandchildren.
