Paula Gutierrez

Paula Gutierrez, a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and wife, passed away peacefully on July 24, 2025, in Vancouver, Washington, at the age of 59. Born on February 12, 1966, in Colorado, Texas, Paula was the beloved daughter of Paula Rodriguez and Atanacio Gutierrez.

Throughout her life, Paula found joy in the simple and meaningful moments-piecing together puzzles with quiet determination, sewing with care and creativity, tending to her garden with love, and cherishing time spent with her family. Her gentle spirit and unwavering devotion to those she loved were evident in every stitch, every bloom, and every embrace.

Paula's greatest pride was her family, and she leaves behind a legacy of love and care. She is survived by her husband, Martin Ibarra, and her ten

children: Rachel Moreno-Marak, Eliza Martinez, Jose Aguilar, Sylvia Aguilar, Vicki Aguilar, Gerardo Aguilar, Anjel Aguilar, Yadira Ventura Vasquez, Juana Ventura, and Antonio Ventura. Her memory will also be carried forward by her

grandchildren: Juan Manuel Diaz, Alejandro Martinez Jr., Fernando Aguilar, Alexander Aguilar, Anjel Aguilar, Giovanni Aguilar, Alina Ventura, and Mateo Ventura.

Paula is also survived by her siblings: Viola Garcia, Atanacio Gutierrez, Cathy Gutierrez, and Martha Torres. Their shared memories and enduring bond are a testament to the strength of family and the love that connected them across the years.

Those who knew Paula will remember her quiet strength, her nurturing heart, and the way she made everyone feel at home. Her presence was a gift, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who were fortunate enough to know her.
