Racheal Lenore Cordova, lovingly known as Lenore, gained her wings at the age of 54 on September 27, 2026. She was a loving wife, mother, sister, aunt, friend, and longtime resident of Springer, New Mexico.
Lenore was born on July 19, 1972, in Raton, New Mexico. She was the youngest of 14 children, born to Eleanor A. Romero and Salomon Romero Sr. Lenore was a devoted wife to her husband, Adam Cordova, with whom she shared 21 beautiful years together. Together, they built a loving family consisting of two sons and two daughters: Kylie Cordova, Patricio Montoya, Isaac Cordova, and Angelica (Reynaldo) Balizan. Family was at the heart of Lenore’s life. She loved her children deeply and never missed an opportunity to tell others how proud she was of each of them. Her family brought her tremendous joy, and she cherished the time they spent together.
Lenore dedicated 19 years of her life to Springer Municipal Schools, where she was known for her commitment, kindness, and genuine care for students and those around her. She made a lasting impact on the lives of many students throughout the years. She was the kind of person people naturally gravitated toward; the person everyone wanted to be around. Lenore loved to travel, experience new places, and live life to the fullest. She was the life of every party, and her laughter was contagious. Her beautiful smile could brighten any room, and her laughter was one that you will never forget. She was truly beautiful both inside and out. Lenore’s presence brought joy, warmth, and laughter to so many lives. Her kindness, humor, and loving spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of her family, friends, coworkers, former students, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
