Joann Valentina Ortowski Walton of New Port Richey, FL died suddenly on Thursday, February 3, 2022. Born in Flushing, NY in 1958, she moved with her beloved parents to Florida in 1980. She briefly lived in Las Vegas, NV and Houston, TX but longed to come back to Florida. She will be remembered for being kind and giving to those around her in need and for being a wonderful Mom, Nana, Sister and Aunt.
She is proceeded in death by her beloved parents Felix and Theresa Ortowski. She is survived by her daughter, Holly Palfy (Justin); brother, Thomas Ortowski (Lisa); nieces, Dawn Young (Doug), Theresa Dethlefsen (Paul), and Alexandra Ortowski; great-nieces, Kyleigh and Kendall Young; great-nephews, Kristopher Young, Jacob, and Ryan Dethlefsen; cousin, Linda Lyles, her beloved cats, dozens of friends that loved her dearly, and her grandson Jackson Palfy-the light of her life.
She would routinely cook and bring meals to some who otherwise wouldn’t have had a lunch or dinner. To honor her memory, please find someone in need and help them.

Thanks for always being fun and having a great a sense of humor. Thanks for taking me in and always wanting me around. When Jackson’s old enough, I promise that the Christmas Tree Bandits will ride again. Wherever you are now-don’t forget to leave a window open. I love you, Jo and I will miss you forever. Love, your Cuz Linda. Rest in Peace, Yo Jo.
