Ana was born on November 4th, 1940 in Cabo Rojo, PR to Esteban and Esther Matos.  She never had the opportunity to attend school but with an eagerness to learn she taught herself how to read and write in Spanish and eventually learn the English language.  She loved music, especially her old school latin music.  She loved to sing, dance and perform.  She took singing lessons and attended Drama classes.  One of her pleasures was going to play Bingo almost every night with friends.  She also loved going to Atlantic City with them.  She loved to cook and entertain.  She knew how to throw a party!  She loved to cook her traditional Latin dishes but also a great cook of all types of food.

Ana's favorite place to visit was Puerto Rico.  She enjoyed watching telenovelas (soap operas) and Spanish variety shows.  Her family and friends were the most important things in her life.  She was tough with the biggest heart.  She took care of everyone and attended mass regularly when she could.  She will be missed.
