"In memory of Grandma Aurora, Our hearts are heavy with sorrow, now that you have passed. We were all blessed to have you here in our lives for so long and to share with us a piece of your heart. Its hard to imagine now that you are no longer with us, but we will always remember your love, spirit, creativity and inspiration. We miss you, but know that you are at peace with the Lord. Love, George and John"
In loving memory of
Aurora Amparo Gutierrez
Aurora Amparo Gutierrez, 91 years of age, passed away peacefully at her home on January 29, 2018 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Born in Los Angeles, California, she was the daughter of Julian and Concepcion Gonzales. She was married to Jose Luis Gutierrez and was divorced. She is survived by 6 children, 13 grandchildren (2 deceased), and 18 great grandchildren.
Aurora and Jose Luis raised their family in the Imperial Valley in California. She spent many years employed as a certified x-ray technician. Soon after retirement, she moved to Phoenix, Arizona. Although her family was spread out over several states, including Canada, she would often travel to see them and stay in touch.
Aurora was a devout Catholic and kept her faith at the forefront of her life. She enjoyed traveling, crocheting, bowling, watching old movies, and playing cards. She loved painting still lifes and landscapes and shared them with her family. She will be remembered for her inquisitive nature and pointing out the good in others. Her sense of humor made others feel comfortable around her.

The visitation will be held from 4:00 pm to 4:30 pm to the time of the service. A Celebration of Life reception will be held afterwards with details to be announced at the service.
