Rogelio "Roy" Gutierrez
March 24, 1930 — June 25, 2014
Rogelio “Roy” Gutierrez, 84, entered eternal rest on June 25, 2014 in Granda Hills, Los Angeles, California. He was born on March 24, 1930 in Mexico to Juan Gutierrez and Estella Chapa Guerra. He is preceded in death by his parents; wife, Orfelina “Linda” Gutierrez; and brother, Rodolfo Gutierrez.
Left to cherish his memories are his son, Gabriel (Rochelle) Gutierrez; daughter, Stella (Andy) Fischer; and sisters, Mina Gonzalez and Linda Langhammer.
Roy proudly served his country in the Army during the Korean War. He worked at Williamson-Pies in Weslaco for many years and also worked at Dickies Company in McAllen until moving to Los Angeles in 1956.
