Obituary
Victoria Costero, 53, of Caracas,
Venezuela, passed away peacefully at her home in
Chatham, Illinois, on Tuesday, October 14, 2025,
surrounded by family and friends.
Born on June 8, 1972, in Caracas, Venezuela,
Victoria was the beloved daughter of Trina Molina
and the late Jose Santana Costero.
In 2017, Victoria migrated to the United States with
the hope of building a better life for herself and
her beloved daughter, Valentina. Her strength,
perseverance, and unconditional love were her daily
driving force — her “motor”— as she worked
tirelessly to create a life filled with love, faith,
and opportunity.
Victoria faced ovarian cancer with remarkable
courage, grace, and faith. Even in her final months,
she found her greatest purpose: to inspire others to
love themselves, to trust in God, and to live each
day with positivity and gratitude. Her light and
faith became a living example of hope that continues
to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew her.
She will be remembered for her kind and joyful
spirit, her love of baking and hosting celebrations,
and her gift for spreading warmth wherever she went.
She found happiness in attending church, uplifting
others with her words, and spending time with her
loyal dog, Akira, who was her faithful companion and
source of comfort. |
She is survived by her daughter,
Valentina Arrieche; her sister, Lisbeth Molina; and
her mother, Trina Molina.
Victoria’s life was a reflection of love, strength,
and grace. Her legacy of faith and positivity will
continue to live on through all who were blessed to
know her.
A Memorial Mass service will be held at 10:30am on
Saturday, October 18th, 2025, at St. Joseph the
Worker Church 700 E Spruce St. Chatham, IL, 62629.
A celebration of life will be held after Memorial
Mass. Cremation rites have been entrusted to
Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home in Lincoln.
Following the services, her remains will be returned
to her homeland of Venezuela for burial in the city
of Caracas.
