Cecilia "Cissy" Cordes

It is with great sorrow that the family announces the passing of Cecilia “Cissy” Cordes who unexpectedly departed this life on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025 at the age of 72. Cissy was full of thoughtfulness and unwavering love. Cissy was born on March 10, 1953 in New Orleans, LA to Yolanda Cordes and Marvin Cordes Sr. Big sister to Alan Robert Cordes and the late Marvin E. Cordes, Jr. (wife) Mary BeBon Cordes (sisters at heart); her uncle Emile Hemriquez was always close to her heart and the love of her life, the late Jenny Eschete and 5 step-grandchildren that she held dearly and of course, her beloved fur babies. She had aunts, uncles, lots of cousins and so many friends that she loved. Cissy worked for Strachan Shipping for many years and worked at M.G. Maher for a time, but her last and most favorite job was with Livingston International, where she was employed for more than 20 years as a Valued Export Documentation Specialist. She loved what she did and had some great co-workers that became part of her family.

Cissy grew up in Terrytown and resided in St. Bernard for more than 40 years.

Thanks to everyone that send prayers, love, help, and understanding. Blessings to you all.
