Our loving Mother and Grandmother Angelina T. Ortiz presented herself at Heavens gates to be accepted into Gods Holy Kingdom on January 6, 2014. A Consummate mother, grandmother, homemaker, and hard worker, Angelina provided a permanent home for her family. Angelina was an excellent cook and enjoyed preparing meals for her family and friends.

The family would like to recognize her grandson Jesse Cruz from Houston, Texas for never forgetting about his grandma, for always calling to ask how she was and coming to see her several times throughout the year and for making sure no stone was left unturned and all was taken care of before he left for being her protector. She loved you so very much. Thank you to her granddaughter Michelle Ortiz for spending time with grandma, making cookies and keeping her smiling. The family will receive friends and family on Thursday, January 9, 2014 from 4-8pm with recitation of the rosary at 6:30 pm at Valley Hills Funeral Home in Sunnyside.
