Anna E. (Feyjoo) Gorritz, 70, of Tobyhanna, passed away on Friday, August 15, 2025. Known to family and friends as Annie, she was born in Manhattan, New York, the daughter of the late Angel and Rosa E. (Garcia) Feyjoo. Annie was the beloved wife of Jorge L. Gorritz.
In addition to her beloved husband, Jorge, Annie will be lovingly remembered by her son, Joseph Gorritz; her cherished grandchildren, Annalyse, Joseph, and Jayla Gorritz; her dear brother, Ricardo Feyjoo, and his wife, Lourdes; her sisters and brothers-in-law; her devoted daughters-in-law, Samantha and Brieann; and many beloved nieces and nephews who held a special place in her heart. She was preceded in death by her son, Jorge Gorritz Jr., whose memory she carried with love every day.
She was full of life, with an infectious laugh and a commanding presence that drew people in. Annie loved to dance, especially to the rhythms of salsa, and her smile could light up even the darkest room. She loved her family fiercely, always putting them at the center of her world, and her warmth made everyone feel like part of it.
For over 27 years, Annie dedicated herself to the Pocono Mountain School District, touching the lives of countless students with her kindness, patience, and unwavering support. Her impact went far beyond the classroom; she inspired, encouraged, and left a lasting impression on every young life she encountered.
Above all, Annie was a devoted Daughter, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, Cousin, and Friend whose love, joy, and spirit will be forever treasured. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her, and her light will continue to fiercely shine in the hearts she touched. As A.A. Milne once wrote, "How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."
Her spirit will live on with every salsa song, every blooming flower, and every boisterous laugh. Her services will be a true celebration of her life, and all are encouraged to wear bright colors in her honor.
A memorial service will take place at 7:00 P.M. on Thursday, August 21, 2025, in the Bolock Funeral Home, 6148 Paradise Valley Road, Cresco, Pa 18326, where the family will receive friends and relatives from 5:00 P.M. until the time of service.
