ANA
CENTENO: `Like a Sister'
If you could not find Ana Centeno in her office at
Marsh & McLennan, then she was one of two places: at
the gym, or on the track at Hudson County Park in
Bayonne, N.J. An avid runner, Ms. Centeno spent so much
time running that her family held a candlelight memorial
service on the track at Hudson County Park, and her
picture is still there.
"She had dancing eyes," her brother, Jesus Centeno,
said. "She was very athletic and when she went for
something, she achieved it."
Ms. Centeno, 38, was an accountant and a good friend
to many. "It's hard to be without her," said Diana
Rodriguez, who said Ms. Centeno "was just like a sister
to her" even when she had just begun to date Jesus
Centeno years ago. "Ana was just Ana, lovable, sweet. She
made me feel comfortable when I first met her 17 years
ago and we'd been like sisters ever since."
