Casey Cordova Obituary

1985-2017 Casey was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota and grew up in Naperville, Illinois. She was a graduate of Neuqua Valley High School, The University of Iowa, and recently attained her MBA from DePaul University. With a passion for building brands, Casey worked for several Chicago based CPG companies in brand management before relocating to Austin, Texas, where she was employed by NHI. Casey served on the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago's Advisory Board and was a member of the Junior League of Kane and DuPage County. She loved being outside, and spent many weekends walking and biking in Herrick Lake Forest Preserve. Casey's vivacious, sweet, and beautiful spirit was felt by all who knew her. Casey is survived by her mother, Cindy Cordova; her father and step-mother, Randy and Linda Cordova; maternal-grandmother, Veeda Lapham; sister, Courtney Cordova; aunt, Coreen Cordova; and cousin, Ryan Meyer. She is preceded in death by her grandparents, Vincent Lapham, and Rueben and Betty Cordova.

We were in Annie with Tempo Players back in about 1995 together & went to school together @ NVHS. Had no idea she had passed. Such a sweet, multi-talented, bright spirited girl.

Sorry for posting this so late. I just discovered this today. I was a vendor to Casey at GDF in Chicago. She was an incredibly nice person who was an absolute pleasure to work for. God bless her family and friends......

Cindy, I am at a loss for words. Know that I will miss Casey's bright, beautiful smile, her cheerfulness, and my views of her walking Duke down the street.

My prayers are with you and your family.

Cindy,
My heart just cries for you. That beautiful little girl we saw grow up from age zero in Eden Prairie, MN. I'm at a loss for words. She was beautiful like her Mom, inside and out. Shelley sent me this link.

All our Love, Jim Goodall and family. And I'm in tears right now.

So Lucky to have known Casey. We kept in frequent contact throughout the years. Talking with her was like the morning sun on skin... always warm, always welcome, always a bright moment on your day!

I'm so very sorry for the loss as the world is deprived by her absence.

I am so very sorry for your loss; my deepest condolences to your family. I worked briefly with Casey at Sara Lee in Rochelle in the early part of 2009. She was an ambitious, beautiful, kind and talented young lady. The Bible says "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted." I pray that God will bless you and give you the strength to get through this very difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

My deepest sympathy to the family. May your fond memories bring you comfort and the God of peace grant you strength.
