Victoria Inigo Bjork

June 15, 1940 — August 29, 2007

VICTORIA INIGO BJORK, age 67, of Joppa, MD, died on August 29, 2007 at Upper Chesapeake Medical Center, Bel Air, MD after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico on June 15, 1940, she was the daughter of the late Monserrate Inigo and Monserrate Rivera Ortiz, and wife of the late John Lewis Bjork Sr.

Mrs. Bjork is survived by her six children, John L. Bjork Jr. of Glendale, MD, Diana L. Cantey of Mt. Vernon, AR, Nancy L. Bjork of Baltimore, MD, Lisa L. Frick of Raleigh, NC, David L. Bjork of Port Deposit, MD, and Stephanie L. Bjork of Reston, VA; five brothers, Peter Ortiz of Miami, FL, Benjamin Ortiz of Plantation, FL, George Ortiz of Coral Springs, FL; Freddy Inigo of Orlando, Fl and Monserrate Inigo Brooklyn, NY, five sisters Maritza Inigo Zayas of Orlando, FL, Betty Inigo Medina of Piscataway, NJ, Anabel Sepulueda of Orlando, FL, Isabel Rodriguez of Brooklyn, NY, and Mary Inigo of Tampa, FL; and seven grandchildren, Amanda N. Bjork of Brooklyn, NY, Amber N. Frick and Holly M. Frick both of Raleigh, NC, James Zachary Cantey and Jacob A. Cantey, both of Mt. Vernon, AR, Ian J. Rice of Alabama, and Sydnie S. Bjork of Port Deposit, MD. In addition to her parents and husband, she was predeceased by a sister, Jenny Inigo.

Mrs. Bjork was a proud mother, grandmother, wife and sister. She emanated beauty, independence and grace throughout her life, and enjoyed hobbies such as photography, and flower arranging. She took pride in cultivating gardens that overflowed with a beautiful array of colors which played host to birds, squirrels, rabbits and other wildlife. Her favorite flower was the rose; which is symbolic of beauty and love. She had a zealous creative nature, and could often turn a yard sale trinket into a beloved treasure. Her happiest moments were when family and friends gathered together for holidays and special occasions.
