Ann Cordero Obituary
In 1970, while in Emporia, Ann met the love of her life, Ismael Cordero. In May 1974, they were married in Liberal. They shared nearly 50 beautiful years of marriage before his death January 6, 2025. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother and her legacy will continue. Ann loved her family and the Lord.
Ann was born to be a mother; she poured all her love into her family. Ann was a brilliant cook and made the best Mexican American food around. Ismael taught her how to speak Spanish, making her bilingual, and she taught Ismael all about the English language and customs. Ann adored being in the sunshine, cutting coupons, garage sales, flowers, and above all else she cherished her family.
