Carolyn Jean Cordova

Born Carolyn Jean Crawford on Aug. 8, 1956 in Reedley, Calif., passed away peacefully, surrounded by her four kids and husband, on Sept. 15, 2026. She lived an amazing life full of love and laughter. Carolyn was all about her family. She married the love of her life, Willie Cordova, on June 6, 1986. They had four kids, Tracy, Robin, Jamie and Brian, who remain very close, all because of her. Even a bigger deal were her seven grandkids and six great-grandchildren. All of the kids would pick Grandma, over anyone else. She was born to be a mom and grandma. Saying she will be missed is an understatement. 

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026, at 11 a.m. at Palm United Methodist Church, 438 W. Tulare St. in Dinuba, Calif. Lunch to follow at 17130 E. Dinuba Ave. in Reedley, Calif.
