Bertha Cordova

Bertha Cordova, 75, formerly of Liberal passed away on June 5, 2025, at St. Luke's Baptist Hospital in San Antonio, TX.

She was born on February 23, 1950, in Holly, CO to David and Susie (Ortiz) Llewellyn, Bertha lit up the lives of those around her with her caring nature and strong commitment to her family.

On September 17, 1965 she married Henry Cordova at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Liberal, KS. 

She was a loving wife, an excellent mother, and a devoted postal clerk for the United States Postal Service.

Throughout her career, Bertha dedicated herself to serving her community as a postal clerk, demonstrating an unwavering work ethic and dedication to those she worked with. Her colleagues remember her not only for her professionalism but also for her warm-hearted approach and willingness to lend a helping hand.

Bertha was deeply passionate about gardening and found immense joy in nurturing plants and flowers. However, her greatest joy came from spending time with her family. She cherished moments shared with loved ones, creating a bond that will endure beyond her years.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Henry Cordovan Sr.; her son Henry Cordova Jr. and daughter-in-law Patricia; and her grandsons Jordan Cordova, married to Priyanka, and Forrest Cordova, married to Abby. Bertha is also a proud great-grandmother to Felicity Cordova, Carmen Cordova, Tatum Cordova, and Siddharta (Sid) Cordova.

Bertha's legacy is also carried on by her sisters: Linda Ellis of Missouri, Violet Rathke of Phoenix, Arizona, June Stoll Llewelyn of Meade, Kansas, and Nellie Lynn Llewelyn of Meade, KS.

She was preceded in death by her father David Llewellyn Sr., her mother Susie Llewellyn, her daughter Tina Cordova, and her brothers Charles Llewelyn, Samuel Llewelyn, and David Llewellyn Jr., along with her sister Genevieve Tregellas.

Bertha Cordova's loving spirit and dedication to her family will be cherished and remembered by all who knew her. Her impact on their lives will linger in their hearts forever.

Per Bertha’s wishes there will be no public viewing.
