Cora "Ann" Burgdorf

Cora Ann (Greenberg) Burgdorf, 67, passed away on February 25, 2025, in West Jordan, Utah. Born on March 14, 1957, in Salt Lake City, Utah, Ann was a beloved Sister, Daughter, Mother, and MorMor who touched the lives of many with her warmth and kindness.

Ann was a true adventurer at heart, finding joy in the journey as much as the destination. She saw life as a series of unfolding stories, each new place offering a fresh chapter to explore. Whether it was the vibrant energy of Singapore or the familiar landscapes of Utah, Idaho, California, Texas, and Oregon, she embraced every move with excitement—so long as family was by her side.

With an open heart and a fearless spirit, she carried her love for adventure wherever she went, leaving behind a legacy of stories, laughter, and the reminder that home is wherever loved ones gather. No matter where Ann traveled or called home, she found and created long lasting friendships.

Ann had an incredibly big heart and adored her family and friends deeply. The greatest joy in her life was her granddaughter, Aurora—her cherished "Lilli Du"—whom she adored beyond measure, she was Lilli Du’s MorMor. If she wasn’t sending you videos or pictures of her Lilli Du while enjoying her daily cup of mocha, she was outside, gardening. The garden was her haven, a place where she could connect with nature and find solace in the quiet rhythm of planting and nurturing. It wasn’t just about growing flowers; it was about creating something beautiful that reflected her heart: gentle, nurturing, and full of life. Her favorite flower was the lily of the valley. A perfect reflection of her spirit: delicate yet strong, pure, and timeless.

She leaves behind her son, Nicholas Burgdorf; her daughter, KelseaMae Godwulf, along with KelseaMae’s husband Grant and their daughter Aurora; her brother Ed Greenberg and his wife Marsha with their children Adam, Bryce, Ashley, Natalie, and Vivian; and her four sisters: Tamera Alexander and her husband Rick with their daughters Rylie and Zoey; Kathy Greenberg and her partner Miriam with their son Beau and wife Gina; Cindy Vincent and her husband Don with their children Kiley, Brad, Jamie and Amy; and Susie Greenberg with her children Tracy Tate Troyer and Scott Tate. Ann was preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Jewel Greenberg.

A viewing will be held on Thursday, March 6, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Jenkins-Soffe Funeral Home, located at 1007 W South Jordan Parkway in South Jordan, Utah. A funeral service will follow at the same location from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM. During the service, there will be an open mic session where friends and family members can share personal stories to remember Ann. Interment will follow at the South Jordan City Cemetery, 10630 S 1055 W in South Jordan.

Ann’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. May she rest in peace.
