Ana was very strong in her Catholic faith. Ana attended Mass whenever she could and made sure to watch Mass on TV when she was unable to go. She also enjoyed social media and kept up with all new technological advances; learning and education were very important to her. In her free time, Ana collected bells and listened to Salsa music. Ms. Ortiz was able to bring laughter and joy into many peoples’ lives with her humor, quick wit, and unique outlook on life. As a Supermom, she was an amazing mother to her three children, Jose Diaz, Doris Diaz (preceded in death), and Naty Matos. She also took on the role of a generous mother to many others.
Ana Ortiz leaves to cherish in her memory, her son, Jose Diaz and his wife Jo Diaz; daughter, Naty Matos; grandchildren, Katie Kelley, Melanie Hoffman, Lyla Moore; great grandchildren, Jonathan Kelley, Nathaniel Kelley, Evelyn Hoffman, Astrid Hoffman, Miles Moore, Maxwell Moore; and many brothers, sisters, and many friends.
