Save the Date: Community Memorial for Dr. Debra Castillo
Nov. 2, 2025 On Sunday, October 5, our community suffered a great loss with the passing of Dr. Debra A. Castillo – mother, sister, aunt, professor, mentor, amiga, and champion to so many of us. We invite you to join us at the Celebration of Life for Debbie, which will be held on Sunday, November 2 from 1:30pm to 4:30pm at the Community School of Music & Arts (CSMA) on the 3rd Floor, 330 E. State St., Ithaca, NY.
Debbie was a brilliant weaver who brought all of our stories and lives together. Let us come together en familia to honor and remember our very dear Debra Castillo.
This memorial will echo the many community-based arts-oriented events that Debbie shared in Ithaca, at Cornell, and throughout the globe. A celebration of her life and love, this event will feature music, food, poetry and a space for friends and loved ones to share memories of Debbie.
