"Glenda Raylene Gutierrez, age 60, of Albuquerque, NM, passed away on March 9th, 2026 at Presbyterian hospital surrounded by love and laughter. Glenda was born the daughter of Manford and Lucy Peralta on December 15th, 1965.

She was a feisty and eternally devoted wife, mother, meema, friend, and so very much more. She loved crafting, growing flowers, Halloween, taking care of people, and especially being surrounded by her loved ones. She worked in the public-school systems for 33 years and was a pillar of light to the community.

She is survived by her loving husband, Tommy Gutierrez, of 39 years, her children, her grandchildren, and her sisters. She is preceded in death by her parents Manford and Lucy.

There will be a viewing service on Thursday, 3/19, from 6 - 8 PM and funeral service Friday, 3/20, at 11 AM. We would like to thank everyone whose life she has touched and had an impact on."
