Ana Torres Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Brasco & Sons Memorial Chapels - Waltham on Mar. 7, 2026.
Ana Marrero Torres, 88, of Waltham, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family at Newton-Wellesley Hospital.

Born in Villalba, Puerto Rico, Ana was the cherished daughter of the late Pablo Marrero Noguera and Faustina Torres Colon.

A woman of immeasurable faith, Ana was known for her strong will, tireless work ethic, and joyful spirit. A true workaholic, she dedicated over three decades of her career as a machinist at Standard Thomson. Ana took great pride in her work and was respected for her dedication and perseverance.

Despite her hardworking nature, Ana truly came alive when surrounded by the people she loved. She enjoyed family gatherings and was an amazing cook, especially known for her delicious chicken, rice, and beans. With an adventurous spirit and a vibrant personality, Ana was often the life of the party. She loved spending time at the casino, playing bingo, listening to music, and dancing-but above all, being with her family was what brought her the greatest happiness.

Ana was predeceased by her beloved husband, Valentin Santiago Rivera.

She leaves to cherish her loving and devoted children Hilda Bonilla of Waltham; Aurea Santiago of Waltham; José Santiago of Milford, MA; Enrique Santiago of Orocovis, Puerto Rico; Eusebio Santiago of Milford, MA; Carmen Alicea of Marlborough, MA along with numerous cherished grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her seven sisters and three brothers, as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever treasure the love and memories they shared with her.

Family and friends are respectfully invited to gather and remember the love and friendship Ana shared during visiting hours on Tuesday, March 10th from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM in the Mary Catherine Chapel of Brasco & Sons Memorial Chapels, 773 Moody Street, Waltham.

A Funeral Service celebrating Ana's life will be held the following day, Wednesday, March 11th at 10:00 AM, from the Mary Catherine Chapel. Interment will follow at Mt. Feake Cemetery in Waltham.

As an expression of sympathy, flowers are welcome.
