Isidoro Leroy Córdova passed away peacefully in his sleep on October 20, 2013 at his home at 5015 Rincón Road NW in Albuquerque, NM.

Leroy was 66 years old.

Leroy was born on December 15, 1946 in Vadito, NM in Taos County to parents, Lauriano Córdova and Manuelita Córdova.

Leroy received his education at New Mexico School for the Visually Handicapped in Alamogordo, NM. Isidoro never let his visual impairment get in the way of pursuing a higher education. Isidoro attended Western New Mexico University and New Mexico State University majoring in Finance.

His career started as a tax examiner with the Internal Revenue Service in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was there that he met his first wife. His daughter Jodi Lee Córdova was born on October 26, 1976. Isidoro returned to Albuquerque, NM in 1980 and worked for the New Mexico Federation for the Blind as a fund raiser.

It was here in Albuquerque that he was to meet the love of his life, Ruth Yvonne Córdova and her daughter, Alicia Antonietta who was born on July 2, 1982. Ruthie and Leroy shared their lives together for many years, and it was on August 24, 2002 that they committed their lives to one another in holy matrimony. They were married in the Old Town Plaza in Albuquerque, NM in an outdoor ceremony.

Leroy started a new career in 1990 when he was employed as an Agent for the Child Support Enforcement Services Bureau of the State of New Mexico. Leroy worked there for 20 years until his retirement on December 30, 2010. Leroy loved his retirement and was an avid fan of the Denver Broncos, the New Mexico Lobos and the Colorado Rockies. You could ask him about sports, and Leroy could tell you all about them. The only thing that would take Leroy away from a game was to take a smoke break now and then.

Leroy is survived by his loving wife, Ruth Yvonne Córdova, his daughters., Alicia Antonietta McKeough and her husband. Donald, Jodi Lee Kirtland and her husband. Steve, his brothers, Clarence Córdova and his wife, Irene, Gustavo Córdova and his wife, Diane, Joe Dale Córdova and his wife, María and sister-in-law, Wilma Córdova, widow of Acorsinio Córdova.
