Lucy Gutierrez, beloved by many, passed away in Lubbock leaving behind a legacy of love and cherished friendships. Born on September 8, 1945, in Nixon, Texas to Samuel & Delfina Garza, Lucy's life was filled with joy, love and a deep connection to her family. Throughout her life, Lucy delighted in various hobbies such as traveling, working on puzzles, tending to her garden, hunting for treasures at garage sales and flea markets. However, nothing brought her more happiness than spending time with her loved ones, especially her children and grandchildren.

Lucy's memory will forever be cherished by her surviving family members including three sons - Raul Gutierrez of Lubbock, Rudy Gutierrez of Lewisville, Michael Gutierrez of Austin: two daughters - Teresa Rodriguez (husband Brigido) and Linda Gutierrez (husband Oscar Davila), all residing in Lubbock. Her ten grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren will always hold a special place in their hearts for their dear grandmother. Additionally, she is survived by her niece whom she raised as her own, Vicky Herrera (husband Tino), and her sister Frances Lozano of Greenville, TX.
