Born on December 7, 1959, in La Junta, Lucille radiated warmth and kindness throughout her life, leaving behind a legacy defined by love, compassion, and unwavering dedication.
Lucille dedicated an impressive 44 years of her life as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) at the Arkansas Valley Regional Medical Center. Her career was marked by her deep commitment to caring for others, a reflection of her nurturing spirit. Lucille’s remarkable work ethic and heartfelt attention to her patients earned her the respect and admiration of colleagues and families alike.
A proud graduate of Swink High School, Class of 1977, Lucille never lost her connection to her roots in La Junta. She was an active member of Our Lady of Guadalupe/St. Patrick's Parish and the La Junta Senior Center, where she cherished the friendships she formed.

She leaves behind her devoted partner, Alex Lovato of La Junta, and her loving daughter, Vanessa (Rudy) Martinez of La Junta. In addition, she will be greatly missed by her mother, Viola Cordova of La Junta.

Her nurturing spirit touched the lives of her niece, Miranda (Vince) Herrera of Fort Collins, and her nephews, Trevor Pruitt of Pueblo West, Noah Cordova of Pueblo, and Camryn Cordova of Denver. Lucille delighted in the roles of grandmother to Brianna Martinez, Kaylyn Martinez, Gabriella Martinez, and Madilyn Martinez, who will always remember the love and guidance she bestowed upon them. She was preceded in death by her father, Albert Cordova, her sister, Lorraine Cordova, her niece, Ceara Ortega, and her grandparents.
