Leslie Wardrop Schoderbek, age 82, a resident of Albuquerque for 32 years, died 1 May, 2009. Leslie, daughter of Leslie and Irene Baker Wardrop, was born in Golconda, IL in 1926 and attended school there. She graduated from Alton (IL) School of Nursing in 1947 and was a registered nurse with a specialty in psychiatry for seven years, five of which were served at Hines VA Hospital in Hines IL, and two years as a 1st Lt in the USAF at Parks AFB, Pleasanton CA. In 1955 Leslie married 1st Lt. Stephen Schoderbek who completed 30 years of military service in 1977. During some of those years she served as a Red Cross Volunteer Nurse at the USAF Academy, CO and Maxwell AFB, Montgomery, AL. After their military life, Leslie and Steve moved to their home in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains and enjoyed thousands of gorgeous sunsets. Her greatest joy in life was her family and her collection of friends. After Steve's second retirement in 1985 they traveled extensively in the US, border to border and shore to shore, until 2004 when Leslie became wheelchair dependent. She is survived by her husband of 54 years, Stephen E. Schoderbek; daughter Joanna and husband, Maris Biela of Littleton, CO; sons David and wife, Dianna (Kottlowski), and their two children Donald and Florence, of Eagle River, AK; and Brian of Albuquerque. Ennichment will be at the Santa Fe National Cemetery Columbarium in late June.
