Lillie Cordova

Lillie Cordova, 92, of Albuquerque, NM, went to be with the Lord on December 4, 2024. Born on June 24, 1932, she lived a life full of joy, love, and faith. Lillie was the life of the party, known for her love of dancing, music, and vibrant spirit. She was a constant presence in her community and dedicated her Sundays to attending church, a reflection of her strong faith and commitment to her beliefs. She cherished spending time with family and friends, always making them feel welcome and loved.

Lillie is survived by her daughter, Elizabeth Montoya, and son-in-law, Ramon Montoya; grandchildren Corrine, Frankie, Crystal, Maxine, Kristy, Amanda, Monica, Donald, Leanne, and Tanya; as well as several great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. She is also survived by her beloved sisters, Dolores, Eloisa and Lugie. Lillie was preceded in death by her dear Ralph Edwards, Donald Edwards, Maryann Hicks, and Perla Shearer.

Her home was always open to those in need, and she found great joy in supporting others. Whether offering a meal, a kind word, or a warm embrace, Lillie never hesitated to offer comfort to her loved ones. She had a special fondness for sunflowers and animals, and her favorite color was green. Lillie’s favorite foods included beans, tortillas, green chile, and Church’s Chicken—she would often say, "If there’s no beans, there’s no food."

Services will be held on Thursday, December 12, 2024, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 p.m. at the Trujillo Family Funeral Home Chapel. A Funeral Mass will take place on Friday, December 13, 2024, at 10 a.m. at Ascension Church, followed by her burial at Pajarito Cemetery. A Celebration of Life will be held afterward at Ascension Church Parish Hall.

Lillie’s legacy of kindness, laughter, and love will live on in all who knew her. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered.
