A life so beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered. Please join us to mourn the passing of Rebecca (Becky) Lynn Gutierrez who passed away on March 26, 2021, at the age of 60.
Becky was born on September 27, 1960 to Derwin and Shirley (Brown) Warren in Hobbs, New Mexico.
Moving around with her nomadic family, Becky lived and went to school in several states: Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, California and finally graduated High School in Oregon – which she loved.
Before settling into a career, Becky chose to travel, work at odd jobs (like crabbing, a cannery, painting houses, managing a video store, etc.), plus continuing her education.
Becky met her true love, David Gutierrez, in Albuquerque, NM in 1986 and was happily married in 1989. The Gutierrez family was complete when their son, Ryan Alexander, was born in 1990.
Becky’s professional career really started in Albuquerque in 1991 with Baxter Health Care as an Auditor. From there, the Gutierrez’s moved to New Jersey, Chicago, and finally Texas as Becky’s successful career advanced her to Senior Director of Application Development Business Relations Manager for Vizient. Becky had two mottos she took to heart: “Do the right thing” and “Be best at whatever it is you do.”
With all of her successes in her career, Becky’s real pleasures were derived from her family. As of now, the Gutierrez family has grown to include her daughter-in-law, Catherine Gutierrez, and her granddaughter, Reece Gutierrez. Other pleasures included being outdoors, reading, costume parties, games, and laughing!
Becky is survived by her parents, Derwin and Shirley (Brown) Warren; her husband, David Gutierrez; her son, Ryan Gutierrez; her daughter-in-law, Catherine Gutierrez; her granddaughter, Reece Gutierrez; and her siblings Phillip Warren, Carla (Warren) Scott, Kenneth Warren, and Anessa (Warren) Collins.
