Our deepest condolences to the family. My daughter Dulanya had Mrs. Tortorici in 2017 as her Pre-K 3 teacher at Castleton Hill. She was a wonderful teacher and Dulanya will miss her. These are some of the memories with Mrs. Tortorici. May her beautiful soul Rest In Peace.

My son Dominic had Mrs. Tortorici in 2020 when school was shut down and this was her last class before retiring. She adapted to Google classroom and would send videos for the class to watch from home. She individually called each of us at home to check in on us as well. She will be missed. I am so sorry for your tremendous loss.

My daughter Jessica and my son Jake had Mrs. Tortorici in 1996 and 2003. I will never forget her patience, understanding and love she had for all the kiddoes. I am now a preschool teacher and I think of her everyday when I call one of my kids Sugar plum. She will be missed!
