Maria Cordova, a beloved wife, mother, and devoted woman of faith, passed away surrounded by her family. She was a longtime member of Mary Queen Catholic Church in Friendswood, where her devotion and warm presence were felt by all who knew her. Maria shared 39 beautiful years of marriage with her husband, Jesus Cordova. Together, they built a life rooted in love, faith, and family. She was a proud and loving mother to her three children: Armando Cordova, Daniel Cordova, and Marissa Cordova, each of whom carries forward her legacy of kindness, strength, and compassion. She is survived by her three loving siblings, Irma Nelly Mendoza, Jesus Ortiz Jr., and Javier Ortiz Sr., and is now reunited with her parents Jesus Ortiz Sr. and Irma Ortiz.  Maria dedicated her professional life to healthcare, where she served others with gentleness and empathy.  Her work was not just a career, but a calling—a reflection of her deep desire to care for and uplift those around her. She will be remembered for her unwavering faith, her generous spirit, and the love she poured into every aspect of her life. Her presence brought light and comfort, and her memory will continue to inspire all who were blessed to know her.
