Gloria Gutierrez

Gloria Armandina "Mandi" Gutierrez, went to be with the Lord on May 26, 2022, at the age of 87. She was born on February 13, 1935, in Realitos, Texas. She worked as a homemaker and home healthcare provider; she attended Saint James Catholic Church in Bishop. Gloria was a wonderful cook, she loved music, had a beautiful voice, and loved to sing. She enjoyed dancing, loved bingo and was young at heart. Gloria had an infectious laugh and a beautiful smile. She was strong, kind, and loving. She always put others first ahead herself and was a role model to her children; her grandkids were her light, her friends and family had deep respect and admiration for her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Gabino Salinas and Esther Villarreal; son, Joe Sendejar; daughter, Marie Hernandez; brothers, Ramiro Salinas and Servando Salinas; sister, Alicia Vera.

Among those left to cherish her memory are her sons, Ricky Sendejar, Carlos Sendejar, Frankie (Maria) Gutierrez, Robbie (Lisa) Gutierrez; daughter, Cindy (Vince) Erno; siblings, Oscar (Angie) Salinas, Manuel (Ofelia) Salinas, Amelia Gutierrez, and Alma De Los Santos; and 18 grandchildren.

Truly extraordinary, the light of my memories and cherished for eternity. See you soon my wonderful one. I love you and God bless you! - A message from her grand-daughter, Amanda
