Cornelia Padilla Ortiz, 71, on February 20th, 2022 our dearest love, wife, mother, and friend, left her home to celebrate en La Casa bendita de Dios.

For 55 years she was cherished by her loving husband, Eliseo Emiliano Ortiz. She was born and raised in North Hurley “China Town”. She married and gave birth to four children: Sofia, Maxine, Paul and David. Her strength in Christ and her love for her family was her anchor.

Cornelia’s life was full of adventure and achievements after her children left home. She received her GED which led her to Western New Mexico University, where she acquired a double Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and Spanish at the age of 47. While attending WNMU, she was nominated to the National Honor Society. Everyday, she made a habit to educate herself all the while assuring that young students had burritos to eat. It was her ministry to work everyday to share her life struggles. She was a strong advocate of Chicano’s and Women’s Rights. Wherever she went she assured that everyone was heard. She was also whole-heartedly involved with the youth group and the choir in the Catholic Church. In the 1980s she became a cursillista and was active in the cursillo movement for many years. Cornie always wanted to help everyone and opened her home to anyone.

She was survived by her beloved husband Eliseo “Cheo” Ortiz, her daughters, Sofia, her husband Pete Castillo; Maxine, her husband Michael Jimenez; her sons “The Cuates” Paul Ortiz, his wife Trina; and David Ortiz, his wife Michelle; her special niece and God-daughter Angelica Padilla, her grandchildren Robin, Jennifer, Andrea, Estrella, Jerome, Justyn, Christyn, and Madisyn, and great-grandchildren Adalyn, Emiliano, David, Michael James, Xaydrie, Maverick, Mason, and Jaylah, her sisters Amelia Granadino, Delmira Martinez and brothers David Padilla and Fernando Padilla. She was preceded in death by her parents David and Lupe Padilla.

Services will be held at Terrazas Funeral Chapel on Tuesday, March 1st. The viewing will be at 9:30 AM, followed by the Rosary at 10:00 AM. The mass will be held at Santa Clara Catholic Church at 11:30 AM and the burial at Fort Bayard Cemetery at 1:00 PM. Pallbearers will be Jerome Ortiz, Andrea Castillo, Emiliano Jimenez, David Jimenez, Michael James Jimenez, Andy Ortiz, Adam Martinez, and Madisyn Ortiz.
