CASTELLÓ-LAMAS, María Jesús
Age 93, passed away Tuesday, October 25, 2022, at The Enclave of Springboro. She was born April 18, 1929 in El Ferrol (A Coruña), Spain. Marisús, as she preferred to be called, was preceded in death by her sisters Carmiña and Amalia and her brother José. She is survived by her "adoptive son" Francisco, her "adoptive grandchildren" Delos and Dasha, her niece Amalia, her brother-in-law Vicente and numerous nieces, nephews, and other family. Marisús was a trailblazer who emigrated from Spain. She was very independent, knowledgeable, and assertive. She was a beloved professor at the University of Dayton for over thirty years where she taught the Spanish language, literature, and culture courses while directing study abroad programs for her students. Marisús had a deep appreciation for life and friendships. She loved singing Americana, Musical, and Spanish songs. Classical and Celtic music were her passion. Following her wishes, her ashes will be scattered in the Atlantic Ocean, so they can make their way to her native Galicia to embrace the United States and Spain, the two countries she loved so much.
