SAN ANTONIO – The family of Edgewood ISD teacher Cynthia Ritz, who died from complications related to COVID-19, remembers her love for education, family and friends.
“We talked about our jobs, and she was telling me about her teaching, and she just lit up,” said Gilbert Lopez, Ritz’s husband.
Lopez said his wife began feeling sick earlier this month.
“She started coughing and stuff. She thought it was her allergies,” Lopez said.
Lopez said Ritz tested positive for COVID-19 on Jan. 7. She was taken to a local hospital on Jan. 12.
