Isabel Salazar Gutierrez, born on March 2, 1956 in Goliad, Texas, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, surrounded by family and love in Lubbock, Texas.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Adan G. Gutierrez, and by her parents, Juan and Refugia Orta Salazar. She is survived by her children, Nehemiah and Emma Gutierrez, Melodía Gutiérrez and Lee Madrid; her sisters Olga Chavez and Lydia Rodriguez; her brothers Humberto, Victor, and Juan Salazar; her dearly loved nieces and nephews: JJ Rodriguez, Jeremiah and Seaneila Rodriguez, Harmony and Anthony Santiago, and Rebecca Chavez.

She delighted in the lives of those she considered her grandchildren: Lucía and Luka Angeles-Rodriguez. As well as the children of her nieces and nephews: Zirus and Mya Rodriguez, and Benjamin and Juan Lujan Jr.

Isabel was a graduate of Stroman High School in 1975. She graduated with her Bachelors of Science in Education from Texas Tech University in 1979, and she received her Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education at the University of Texas Permian Basin in 1998.

A woman of unwavering Christian faith, she carried her beliefs not only in word but in action. Her love of Christ guided every aspect of her life and was evident in the way she treated others with grace, patience, and deep compassion.

She was a gifted pianist whose music brought peace and joy to those around her. Whether playing at church or simply at home, her music was an extension of her spirit.

Her heart for service was evident through her work in organizations such as the League of Women Voters (LWV), the American Association of University Women (AAUW), the Association of Texas Professional Educators (ATPE), Hispanic Association of Women (HAW). She believed in empowering others through education, civic responsibility, and community involvement.

Everyone who knew Isabel was touched by the light of her joy and the strength of her spirit. The loving friends who walked beside her are a reflection of the divine grace she carried and shared so freely.

Her life was a testament to quiet strength, enduring faith, and the power of service.

Those who love and know Isabel are invited to join us to honor her life and legacy at Lake Ridge Chapel, 6025 82nd St., Lubbock TX 79424 at 2 PM on Tuesday, June 24.

Your Sisters in Christ will miss you dearly. Hilda, Sylvia, Soyla, Raquel, Veronica, Mary, America, Juanita, Niobe, and Dolores.

May Isabel be remembered always. From her friends at AAUW, Lubbock.

Wishing you comfort and peace during this difficult time.

Isabel was a lovely person, inside and out. My sincere sympathy to her family.

I was blessed enough to work with Isabel at Ballenger Early Childhood school. It was my first year and I worked in her pod. I remember how helpful and patient she was with me. As a new teacher she showed me the way. Over these past few years she subbed at my current school Parsons. We had so many great talks. I remember her telling me so many times that I just need to trust in Jesus. I am so sorry for your loss. I will miss her so much, she was a true blessing to me.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Wishing you and your family peace and comfort. Your are in our thoughts. Love Tommy & Judy Mauriello
