Maria M. Gutierrez

With heavy hearts and deep love, we announce the passing of Maria M. Gutierrez, who entered eternal rest on October 2, 2025, at the age of 75. Born on July 28, 1950, Maria lived a life full of quiet grace, warmth, and unwavering devotion to those she loved.

Maria’s life was a beautiful reflection of kindness and simplicity. She found joy in the small, meaningful moments—tending to her garden, nurturing every bloom with care, and, most of all, spending time with her beloved family and friends. Her greatest happiness came from being surrounded by her siblings, nephews, and nieces, who knew her as a loving, steady presence and a source of endless affection and support.

She was the cherished sister of Jose E. Gutierrez (Angelita), Arnulfo Gutierrez † (Rosie), Severiano Gutierrez (Juanita), Artemio Gutierrez (Elisa), Leticia Rodriguez (Raul), Aurelio Gutierrez (Elda), Adalberto Gutierrez (Yvonne), whose memories she held close to her heart.

Maria’s gentle spirit touched everyone who knew her. Whether through a warm smile, a caring word, or a lovingly prepared meal, she gave of herself fully and without hesitation. Her garden was her sanctuary, but her heart belonged to her family and friends—always present, always listening, always loving.

The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to all who shared Maria’s life and supported her through her final days. A heartfelt thank you to Casa Mia Hospice and WellMed staff for the compassion and care shown to Maria and her loved ones during this time.

Maria M. Gutierrez leaves behind a legacy of love, humility, and selfless devotion. Though she is no longer with us in body, the beauty she brought into the world lives on in the hearts of those who loved her.

She will be dearly missed and forever remembered.

Con gran pesar y profundo amor, anunciamos el fallecimiento de María M. Gutiérrez, quien entró en el descanso eterno el 2 de octubre de 2025, a la edad de 75 años. Nacida el 28 de julio de 1950, María vivió una vida llena de serena gracia, calidez y una devoción inquebrantable a sus seres queridos.

La vida de María fue un hermoso reflejo de bondad y sencillez. Encontraba alegría en los pequeños momentos significativos: cuidando su jardín, cuidando cada flor con esmero y, sobre todo, pasando tiempo con su querida familia y amigos. Su mayor felicidad provenía de estar rodeada de sus hermanos, sobrinos y sobrinas, quienes la conocían como una presencia amorosa y constante, y una fuente de inagotable afecto y apoyo.

Era la querida hermana de José E. Gutiérrez (Angelita), Arnulfo Gutiérrez ✝ (Rosie), Severiano Gutiérrez (Juanita), Artemio Gutiérrez (Elisa), Leticia Rodríguez (Raúl), Aurelio Gutiérrez (Elda) y Adalberto Gutiérrez (Yvonne), cuyos recuerdos atesoraba en su corazón.

El espíritu amable de María conmovió a todos los que la conocieron. Ya fuera con una cálida sonrisa, una palabra cariñosa o una comida preparada con cariño, se entregaba por completo y sin dudarlo. Su jardín era su santuario, pero su corazón pertenecía a su familia y amigos: siempre presentes, siempre escuchando, siempre amando.

La familia desea expresar su más profundo agradecimiento a todos los que compartieron la vida de María y la apoyaron en sus últimos días. Un sincero agradecimiento al personal de Casa Mia Hospice y WellMed por la compasión y el cuidado que brindaron a María y a sus seres queridos durante este tiempo.

María M. Gutiérrez deja un legado de amor, humildad y devoción desinteresada. Aunque ya no esté con nosotros físicamente, la belleza que trajo al mundo sigue viva en los corazones de quienes la amaron.

La extrañaremos profundamente y la recordaremos por siempre.
