Life story

Sandra was born September 24th, 1965 to Werro and Consuelo Gutierrez.

Her siblings are Michael Gutierrez, Jeanette Ortiz and Buddy Gutierrez. She had numerous nieces and nephews.

Sandy graduated from West Mesa High School In 1983. She loved her many lifelong friendships she created there. She worked at the County Clerk’s office for almost 20 years and gave many of us our marriage certificates, she loved working there and made many great friends. She loved attending family and friends' gatherings, no matter the occasion. Many of you remember her love for cars. From her beautiful Cutlass Supreme to her amazing Camaro, she loved nice cars.

Sandy never missed the best concerts. From Def Leppard concert, to sneaking us into the George Strait concert at the PIT and going to the Brooks and Dunn and Journey concerts, she was a rebel and lived life fearless and worry free.

In all things Sandy loved, she loved her dogs and treated them like children, Lucky and Gerti were her pampered best friends. She was a devoted Mother and Grandmother to Vanessa, husband Xavier and thier children Brandie, Bryan, Christina, Antonio and Jordan Ramirez.

She had a special place in her heart for son (little) Danny, wife Carolina and grandson Isaiah.

She was a wonderful caregiver to her mother Connie for years! They were very close and enjoyed each others company.

Sandra was known for her upbeat personality, sense of humor and her beautiful smile and laughter!!

She would help anyone at the drop of a dime! Especially when it came to her daughter. She was the most thoughtful, down to earth, fun loving, genuine person you could ever come across on this earth.

Many of you ran into Sandy during her late-night Walmart trips!

She would quickly greet anyone she recognized and was always happy to see old friends & of course up for make new ones.

She was more than just my Mom 🕊️🤍

My mother was a beautiful person, she was always here for me! (Before and even after death.) I miss her smile, her laugh, her advice. She would go above and beyond for me and my kids. We miss her each and every passing day! 🥺🫶🏻
