The Bakersfield Californian 
Maria Teresa Gutierrez
Jan. 12, 1926 Feb. 1, 2005

Our loving mother, Maria Teresa Gutierrez, born on January 12, 1926, in Rocha, 
Uruguay, South America, the eldest daughter of Juan and Eudocia Barcena, 
passed away in her home February 1, 2005, surrounded by her loving family. 

Maria Teresa and her husband, Jose Oscar along with 9 children and one on the 
way, immigrated to the United States in January 1964. The Family then settled 
in Ventura that same year, five years later they welcomed their 11th and last 
child (one less than the number of children she always dreamed of having).

Maria Teresas passions were love for her family and her incredibly deep 
devotion to her Catholic faith. As a devoted wife and mother, she dedicated 
her life to raising her 11 children and spending time with her 20 
grandchildren. She was a graceful woman, beautiful, both inside and out, who 
gave not only to her family but also to her friends and those in need. She 
enjoyed playing and teaching the piano, sewing, cooking and traveling, 
especially home to visit Uruguay and to their second home in Tehachapi.

Maria Teresa is survived by her husband of 56 years, Jose Oscar; sons, Juan 
(Penny), Danny (Denise), Rick (Barbara), Alex (Kathy), Louie, Leo (Monica); 
daughters, Quica Höelek (Rick), Terri Stone (Doug), Ana Elliott (Rod), Tonia 
Bailey (Greg); grandchildren, many friends and neighbors. Maria Teresa was 
preceded in death by her eldest son, Jose and grandson, Kyle Stone.

A Rosary and Vigil will be held Friday, February 4, 2005, 7:00 p.m., at Joseph 
P. Reardon Funeral Home, 757 E. Main St., Ventura, CA (805) 643-8623. Funeral 
Mass will be held Saturday, February 5th, at Sacred Heart Church with burial 
to follow.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to your favorite Catholic Charity or 
hospice organization.

The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to Dr. Evan Slater, 
Dr. Michael Swartout, Linda Hare, Laura Sierra and all of the Hospice 
caregivers.

Querida Madre y Belita te queremos muchismo y te vamos a estranar siempre (we 
love you very much and will miss you always).
