Yolanda Gutierrez

Yolanda Gutierrez, was the only daughter out of eight. Born in Mexico City but raised in Monterrey, Nuevo León, she considered herself “regia de corazón”. Yolanda grew up smart, strong, and beautiful but labeled difficult, stubborn, a know-it-all. They were not wrong. She was a woman who saw a challenge and overcame it with a positive attitude and “ganas”. She worked as a registered nurse while receiving her Masters in Psychology which she used to council at risk youth. She was also a social butterfly and joined a sport organization. She competed at national level for swimming and basketball. Where she later met her husband Felipe Gutierrez. They had a small wedding April 1988 and a year later had their first daughter, Dulce Gutierrez. Later joined by her sisters, Anahi and Rocio Gutierrez. Living in Mission, Texas with no family around, Yolanda formed strong friendships that became family.
Anyone who has ever met our mom would hear her talk about her daughters and how happy she was being a grandma to three girls. If you were ever lucky enough to experience her love, positivity, and storytelling, you would leave inspired.
