Mrs. Ana Maria Grygorzyk (Ramos)

December 6, 1925 - June 23, 2020

Ana Maria “Anita” (Ramos) Grygorzyk entered eternal light on June 23, 2020. She was preceded in death by her husband, Anthony Joseph Grygorzyk and her son Michael Anthony Grygorzyk. Ana Maria was born in Lima, Peru to a large, distinguished family that also produced an ambassador to Spain and one time president of Peru. In 1954 she fell in love with a US Air Force officer and the couple was married at the Cathedral of Lima. In 1955, Major-Sergeant and Mrs. Grygorzyk were stationed back in the United States. Anita was a life-long Catholic who lived her faith, working as counselor to troubled girls at the Villa Maria for 20 years. She was an eternal optimist who lifted everybody around her with positivity and an up-beat personality – she was a true gem and will be greatly missed. Anita was a devoted grandmother and is survived by two grandsons; Anthony Michael Grygorzyk(Nancy) and Jacob Michael Grygorzyk. She is also survived by a special daughter-in-law, Barbara Cook and many nieces and nephews, friends and relatives in the United States and Peru. Anita was a 60 year member of the Basilica of St. Adalbert where the mass of Christian burial will be celebrated on Monday, June 29th at 11:00am with burial at Holy Cross Cemetery immediately after the mass. The family will receive visitors on Monday morning from 9:30 – 10:30am at the Arsulowicz Brothers Mortuary, 585 Stocking Ave., NW.
