Marie Gutierrez

As long as were living, our mama you’ll be…

Marie Gutierrez, of Greeley Colorado, left us peacefully on May 29th, surrounded by family. A beloved mother, grandmother and sister, Marie, or “Bernadette”, will always be remembered for her kindness, willingness to help others, and her powerful presence.

Born on September 1, 1960, in Alamosa, Marie grew up the daughter of Frances and Rosendo Mondragon, sister to 6 brothers and 2 sisters: Bill, Pancho, Gilbert, Allen, Alvin, Steve, Amalia, and Roseanne. She spent her childhood in the peaceful small town of San Luis Valley surround by family and friends.

Marie devoted her career to Island Grove where she worked as the Center Director of HeadStart and later as the Housing Manager. As the center director Marie believed that every child had potential and sought to inspire as many young minds as she could. As the Housing Manager Marie provided housing assistance for families in need. 

Marie is survived by her 4 daughters and 2 sons: Bernadette, Stacy, Nicole, Diana, Joe, and Michael, as well as her grandchildren: Mariah, Devin, Sierra, Audrina, Ayva, Analeah, and Dalary. She is also survived by her brothers-in-law: Juan, Jose, and Alex.

A service to celebrate Marie’s life will be held on June 12, 2025, at 1:00 pm at Northern Colorado Crematory located at 700 8th St, Greeley, CO 80631.
