Torres was a close friend to Angela “Big Ang” Raiola (1960–2016), who was a star of the VH-1 reality series “Mob Wives.” Raiola was so popular on the show that she received her own spin-off, “Big Ang.” In both series, Torres was by her side as one of her best friends. Offscreen, Torres was a school bus driver for developmentally disabled children for more than 20 years. She had been battling breast cancer before contracting COVID-19.
