Dorene Gutierrez

**In Loving Memory of Dorene Gutierrez**

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dorene Gutierrez, who left this world peacefully on August 14, 2025, at the age of 75. Born on February 12, 1949, in a time full of promise, Dorene lived a life rich with love and cherished moments.

Dorene found her home on the Gila River Indian Reservation, where she shared her life with her devoted husband, Luis Gutierrez, and her beloved grandson, Victor Garcia. The warmth of their family bond was evident to all who knew them, and Dorene's nurturing spirit touched the lives of many.

She is survived by her husband, Luis, and her dear brother, Harlen McDonald, along with a large extended family filled with love and memories. Each of them will carry a piece of her legacy in their hearts, honoring her kind nature and unwavering support.

A celebration of Dorene’s life will take place on Friday, August 30, 2024, with a visitation at 6:00 PM at the District 4 Service Center in San Tan. On Saturday, August 31, 2024, we will gather for graveside services beginning at 5:00 AM at Snaketown Cemetery, paying our final respects to a remarkable woman whose spirit will forever remain in our hearts.

Dorene Gutierrez will be deeply missed, but her love, laughter, and the memories she created will live on in all those she touched.
