On August 26, 2020, our beloved Bertha Sonia Gutierrez entered God’s heavenly kingdom at age 70.
In 1968 she graduated from Martin High School and continued her education until she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Education. Subsequently, she attained a Master’s degree in Education as well. She was employed by L.I.S.D., began her career at Buenos Aires Elementary, and concluded her career at J.C. Martin Elementary after 37 years as a Kindergarten teacher retiring in 2011.
Her passions included her many plants and her pet dogs (Buddy, Chula, and Lucy). She excelled in the culinary arts especially the preparation of a variety of Mexican dishes. Her passing leaves a void in the lives of her family and friends.

Our deepest and sincere condolences to Kristina Gutierrez and family. Your mother, Sonia, was one of our late mother and mother in-law’s dearest friends. She was also our friend. We will miss them both dearly during Thanksgiving dinners, and their prayer gatherings. There isn’t a memory that dear Sonia is not in. It consoles us that they are both rejoicing together with our Heavenly Father. Rest in paradise Sonia.
Tia Sonia, Where do I begin. I am going to miss you so much. I'm going to miss our talks where you would ask me to do your makeup every time I visited. I'm going to miss your crazy stories at our family cookouts where you would leave us in tears from laughing so hard. I am going to miss you always telling us to raise the thermostat because you were always cold. I am going to miss you telling Diego and I that we should have more babies because we "make gorgeous babies". I going to miss your smile, laugh, and your wild sense of humor. I AM GOING TO MISS YOU! You were taken too soon and although I couldn't make your funeral services, I will always know that you will be watching over my family and I. I love you so much. May you rest in paradise and until we meet again.
