Ana Ortiz, 69, passed Thursday, March 07, 2019 due to Cancer. Ana was born to Salvador Ortiz and Amelia A. Ortiz, November 12, 1949, in Lagas, Puerto Rico. She married Efrain Troche, and they lived together in Isabella, Puerto Rico and Elizabeth, New Jersey. Together they raised 4 children.

We were blessed to learn many lessons during Ana's 69 years with us, among them to live simply and love deeply with compassion. Ana didn't have much, but she never wanted for more and what little she had she would freely give to anyone in need.

Ana is survived by her husband, Efrain Troche; 4 children: Carmen M. Medina, Luis M. Medina, David Troche, and Isabel Troche; and 11 grandchildren: Luis Gonzalez, Damaris Medina, Anthony Sanchez, Julissa J. Medina, Jose Manuel Sanchez, Angelica H. Medina, William W. Tirado, Jamir D. Troche, Jayzic X. Medina, Jasmine M. Medina, and Nachaly Tirado. Her heart of gold and infinite love and compassion lives on in each of them.

We held you close within our hearts, And here you shall remain, To walk with us throughout our lives, Until we meet again.
