May 6, 2024 at Memorial Northeast Hospital in Humble, TX.
Rosa was born in 1952 in El Marmol, Guanajuato, Mexico, and immigrated to Winters, CA, with
her family in 1963. She graduated from Winters High School in 1968 and attended Solano
Community College, where she met her husband, Salvador Gutierrez. They shared a beautiful
union, exchanging vows on February 15th, 1975, in Reno, NV.
Rosa found joy in the simple pleasures of gardening, traveling, bird watching, and Hallmark
movies. Her life was a testament to love, faith, and compassion. As the matriarch of her large,
beautiful family, she took immense joy in her children and was proud of her heritage and roots.
A woman of unwavering faith, Rosa devoted herself to lifelong learning of the word of God and
fearlessly stood as a witness for Christ. Her giving heart, warmth, and genuine interest in others
endeared her to all who had the privilege of knowing her. Rosa leaves behind a legacy of
kindness and unconditional love that will forever be remembered.
Rosa is survived by her loving husband of 49 years, Salvador "Joe" Gutierrez, and their four
children: Maria Gutierrez, Martin Gutierrez, Jose Gutierrez (Rita) of Humble, TX, and Hannah
Gutierrez (Leif Gilbertson) of Denver, CO. She was a loving grandmother to nine grandchildren:
Mallory, Michelle (Darnell), Khloe, Lisbeth, Victoriano, Llewyn, Joseph, Gianna, and Baby
Gilbertson. Rosa also leaves behind three great-grandchildren: Karmen, Elijah, and Alonzo. She
is also survived by her four brothers: Luis (Evangelina), Ramon (Irma), Juan (Debbie), and
Lorenzo Jr. (Angelica) Lopez, and three sisters: Lupe (Joe) Romero, Gloria, and Marina Lopez.
Rosa is preceded in death by her father, Lorenzo Cardona Lopez, her mother, Carmen Gutierrez
Lopez, and her beloved niece, Linda Carmina Lopez-Hynson.
We keep her family in our prayers and joy in our hearts as she would’ve wanted.
She is deeply missed by everyone she has touched.
A viewing service for Rosa will be held on her birthday, May 18th, 2024 at 7pm at Houston
Spring Creek Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Spring, TX.
May she rest in The Lord’s everlasting peace.
