Obituary for Yaneza Ortiz

Yaneza Ortiz (October 17, 1974 - November 27, 2022)


Yaneza Ortiz was born on October 17, 1974 in Bronx, New York, and passed away on November 27, 2022 in Allentown, Pennsylvania.


Yaneza will always be remembered for her vibrant energy and magnetic personality, as well as her absolute passion for fun, family and friends. As the saying goes, "she loved you as a stranger before she liked you as a friend.” She received openly all new friendships and surrogate siblings with true love, accepting them completely as they were. In true Boriqua fashion, she would sing and dance simply to pass the time, a trait that all Ortiz's are proud of and will remember her by.


Yaneza is survived by her mother, Myriam; her three daughters: Shalayna (Shay), Shaniece, and Myriam-Amaris (Mimi); and so many cousins, extended relatives, friends who will miss her dearly.


A funeral service will be held in Yaneza’s honor on Friday December 9th at Fiore Funeral Home,
236 Monmouth Rd, Oakhurst, NJ 07755
with a viewing at 10:00am and service at 1:00pm.
The repast (meal)will follow at
Falco Brothers Catering
1110 NJ-35, Ocean Township, NJ 07712


In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Partners for Women and Justice, an organization dedicated to helping domestic violence victims.
