Elena Gutierrez-Zamora

Age 38, a life-long resident of Albuquerque, left us Wednesday, January 23, 2013 after a struggle of over fifteen years with anxiety disorder. She is survived by her mother, Lou Ella Reynolds; siblings, Gina Biazar and husband, Shahram, Dante Gutierrez-Zamora and wife, Leurisa, Nathan Vigil, Erica Gutierrez-Zamora, Humberto Gutierrez-Zamora, Axel Gutierrez-Zamora, and Jose "Pepe" Gutierrez-Zamora. Auntie Lena is also survived by her nephews, Bayan, John, and Marcel; and nieces, Maya, Gemini, and Cordy. She was preceded in death by her beloved brother, Ariel.
