It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our dearly beloved Olivia Gutierrez. Olivia passed on April 2, 2025 as a result of dementia. During this challenging time of her life she was able to enjoy the comfort of her home. Her courage, strength and humorous wit was a blessing to those around her. Olivia was born and raised in Lindsay where she lived all of her life. She met her husband Al Gutierrez when they were children and for a time lived in the same neighborhood. They were married in 1955 and together raised a small family. Olivia was a natural homemaker and loved her family very much. She was a generous and giving woman with a beautiful loving smile and warm heart.
