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."
