Remembering Isela Castillo

REMEMBERING ISELA CASTILLO

On September 19, 2018 the Nassau Bay City staff lost a great friend and colleague, Isela Castillo, the City’s Human Resources Administrator. Isela was with the City for over 5 years and handled all the HR activities as well as assisted with many City events. She planned elaborate Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas parties filled with decorations and party festivities for the employees.

At the encouragement of several employees, she established the Nassau Bay cycling team and rode bikes with her coworkers in several large fundraisers. She was known among staff for her contagious laugh and sense of humor. Isela had the ability to connect with each person she encountered in a way that made them feel truly appreciated. She was incredibly generous with her time and resources in all her relationships and served as an inspiration for her coworkers and friends. Isela and her dazzling personality will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

We offer our condolences to her family and all those who lost a true friend with her passing. We encourage all those who would like to honor her to ‘pay it forward’ with acts of kindness and generosity. Isela had planned to ride in the 2018 Galveston Bay Foundation Bike Around the Bay. Donations can still be made to the Galveston Bay Foundation in her memory by visiting www.nassaubay.com/biketeam.
