With profound love and sorrow, our family shares the passing of Xochitl Elizabeth Castañeda Monsivais, who went to be with the Lord on October 12, 2025, at the age of 31. Born on May 17, 1994, in Del Rio, Texas, Xochitl made her home in the Sherman–Denison area, where she built a beautiful life devoted to her family.

Xochitl was the beloved daughter of Gladys Elizabeth and Pablo Cuauhtémoc Castañeda, and the cherished sister of Dennise Prange and Damian Castañeda. She was the devoted wife of Juan Gerardo Monsivais and the loving mother of Emiliano, twins Catalina and Diego, and Gladys Monsivais.

A proud graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice, Xochitl chose to dedicate her life to nurturing and teaching her children. As a stay-at-home mother, she homeschooled her kids with patience and creativity, and she poured her heart into coaching their soccer teams, cheering them on both on and off the field.

Xochitl's love extended far beyond her home. She was a joyful aunt to Alejandro, Sebastián, Emilia, Pablo, Olivia, Anasofía, Hailey, Miranda, Claudio, and Aria, a caring cousin and niece, and a loyal friend to many. Her warmth, laughter, and compassion left an unforgettable mark on everyone who knew her.

She will be remembered for her deep love for her family, her unshakable faith, and the way she made every gathering brighter with her presence and unforgettable smile. Xochitl's legacy will live on through the love she poured into her children and the countless lives she touched.

Mass Services will be on Wednesday October 22, 2025 at Saint Anne's Catholic Church in Sherman, and a viewing will be held in Sherman at Waldo Funeral Home, Texas on Wednesday, October 22, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

A second viewing will take place in Del Rio on Friday, followed by a Funeral Mass and burial on Saturday.
