Tina was a devoted and hardworking member of the Oxnard community, dedicating 25 years of service to the local cable company. Her commitment and work ethic left a lasting impression on colleagues and customers alike. Beyond her professional life, Tina was known for her vibrant personality and generous spirit. She had a deep love for life and an open heart that welcomed everyone—no matter their circumstances. Her home was always a place of warmth and refuge. A true fashionista at heart, Tina was rarely seen without her signature Levi jacket. Her style reflected her bold spirit and zest for life. She shared many joyful moments riding Harleys with her beloved husband John Gutierrez, cherishing the freedom of the open road and the companionship they found in each other.
Tina is survived by her two children, Yvette and John "Gubby" Gutierrez; nieces and nephews; grandchildren; great-great-grandchildren; and brother and sisters.
