She is survived by her adoring husband, Eric, and her precious daughter, Isabella. Julie is also preceded by her Mother, Lupe, and survived by her Father, Frank Gutierrez, and siblings Frank Jr., Carlos, and Mari. Julie left behind many nephews and nieces who adored her and she was very proud of all of them.

Eric, Bella, and Family,

Julie and worked together at Learning Tree. At one time our desks were separated by just a walkway. I remember when she met you, Eric, and the wedding plans. Bella, I remember when she was expecting you and her delight when you arrived and as you grew.

Julie was lovely and brave. I watched her battle breast cancer with dignity and determination.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I met Julie 7 years ago in a breast cancer support group at the Wellness Center. A diagnosis of cancer is very scary but I was able to get through the journey with Julie’s help and the other remarkable women in that group. Julie was a very loving, courageous woman who I had the pleasure of meeting and becoming her friend. She fought her cancer for her daughter, husband and all her loved ones. I was blessed to have known her and love her.
