May 3,1923 - March 8, 2023 Cruz Pinelli, 99, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family on March 8, 2023. She was born and raised in Anaheim on May 3rd, 1923. She attended Anaheim High School.

She worked at Disneyland not long after it opened. In later years she worked in sales. She was an avid baseball fan. Her favorite teams were the Angels and Dodgers. She loved music, played piano, and loved to dance. Her radio was always on in her home.

Cruz is survived by her four daughters; Terri (Dan), Lois, Beverly (David), and Linda; grandchildren Miles, Adam, Jennifer, Alicia (Travis), Cody and Michael; sister Anita, and numerous nieces and nephews. She will be remembered for her sharp memory, her quick wit, contagious smile, and for always ending a conversation and visit with “I love you.” To all who knew her, think of a memory and put on “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond, and smile.
