Yolanda Castellanos Lopez, local style icon and salsera extraordinaire, went to be with the Lord in the early hours of Monday, the 28th of December. A Mexican native, Yolanda became an American citizen at an early age and settled in the agricultural town of Santa Maria, California where she and her husband ran their family business of 35 years, Lopez Farrier Tools.
Remembered for her quick wit, large signature sunglasses, and ever extended arm, Yolanda was quick to lend a helping hand to those in need. A stranger to no one, known to many as Little Mama, and often insisting on being called Tia to those she only just met, Yolanda was a nurturer by nature. The second eldest in a family of 8, she was a mother figure to each of her brothers and sisters until the end.
