Angie Cordy DeHerrera

Angie was married for 71 years and raised eight children (she would say singlehandedly, though our father is sitting right here). After raising all her children, Angie earned her CNA certification so she could keep doing what was natural to her: caring for others. She had that much love in her big, beautiful heart. She would take care of anyone in need, and they would be more than happy to enjoy the amazing meals she would prepare.

Angie was not known for holding back her opinion and always told it like it was. All who knew her will never forget her tenacity, strength, wit, grace, compassion, and beauty. She had a special talent for loving you fiercely…while keeping you on your toes.

Angie was a devout Catholic who prayed the rosary daily. We are certain she had a direct line to God, as even the Broncos won when she prayed for them. In 1999, Angie trekked to the Holy Land and the Vatican, where we’re sure she whipped more than a few folks into shape. It is for her devotion to God and family and the incredible memories we have of her that she will be missed with the whole of our hearts. This woman lived her truth. She shared her strength and was a beacon to our family. We will miss her light, but then again, she gave us our own.

Angie joins her baby son, Joseph, in God’s Light. She is survived by her husband Desi; her sister Merlinda; her eight children Beverly, Dave, Steve, Jackie, Lola, Anita, Judy, and Bobbie, plus many grandchildren and several great-grandchildren. All of these she loved and touched deeply.

Please join us in celebrating Angie’s life Wednesday, July 17th, for a mass/rosary at St. Bernadette’s Parish at 11 AM followed by a luncheon at the American Legion Post 178 from 1 - 4 PM. In lieu of flowers, please bring your lovely selves and perhaps a memory or story to share of our beloved wife and mother.
