GUTIERREZ, CAROLYN (BEBE DELWICHE) At the young age of 59 our beloved Carolyn has passed from this world into the arms of our Lord and Savior on February 22, 2013. She no longer has to suffer the pain of cancer, but will enjoy everlasting peace in heaven. She was born in Albuquerque on September 23, 1953 and was the fifth daughter of nine children born to Walter and Evangeline Delwiche. She is preceded in death by them and her brother, Walter Delwiche Jr. She is survived by her husband, Benny Gutierrez of 42 years; two daughters, Heather and husband, Tim Jones and Sabrina Gutierrez (Jerry); sisters, Anna Gutierrez, Shirley Gallegos (Gene), Lois Hudgins (Roland), Dorothy Larranga (Jerry), Laura Delwiche (Peter), Eleanor (Kitter) Delwiche; brother, Frank Delwiche (Theresa). Carolyn's joy in life were her grandchildren, Anthony and Aubry Garcia, Sienna and Genevive Lucero. In her final days she was happy and sad to hear that she was going to have another grandchild and her first great-grandchild, both to be born at the end of 2013. She leaves them with all her love. Carolyn was loved by her family, a multitude of aunts, nephews, nieces, cousins and dear friends. She gave so much in life; her laugh, her smile, her willingness to do for others even in her last years of illness. She was an extraordinary woman and we will miss her dearly. She worked in the field of dentistry most of her life working for Dr. Alfred Lopez DDS, Dr. Mark Pollock DDS nad Dr. Theron Burke DDS at Peach Tree Dental. We want to thank Presbyterian Hospice, especially nurse Mirissa Simpson and caregiver, Theresa Jorden. They were a godsend. Carolyn was a devoted Christian and attended Legacy Church. To celebrate this beautiful woman and thank God for giving all of us the wonderful gift of her life, we will honor her last wish that her family gather together and reminisce her life. A private ceremony will take place at a later date. Riverside Funeral Home, 225 San Mateo NE is in charge of cremation.
