Emma Maria Gutierrez

Emma Maria Gutierrez, born on October 20, 1944, in Nicaragua, passed away peacefully on August 10, 2026, in San Antonio. Throughout her 81 years, Emma distinguished herself as a devoted mother and cherished grandmother.

Emma was the beloved daughter of the late Ignacio Gutierrez and Dora Madrigal. She is survived by her children: her son, Omar Rocha, and her daughters, Jeannette Thompson and Anabell Reyna. She leaves behind a profound legacy in her grandchildren—John Patrick Ryan, Derek A. Ryan, Bridge Rocha, and Astrid Rocha. Her family circle also includes her son-in-law Walter Thompson, son-in-law Roberto Reyna, and daughter-in-law Yazmin Rocha.

Emma is also survived by her brothers Manuel Adam Guerrero, Roberto Dominguez, and Rene Dominguez; and her sisters Jilma Gutierrez, Leonor Madrigal, Miriam Madrigal, Lila Dominguez, Estebana Dominguez, and Daisy Dominguez. The loss of her brother, Jose Luis Dominguez, who predeceased her, was deeply felt by all who shared in Emma’s affection and guidance.

Emma was a truly exceptional mother who has now passed and rests in peace with our heavenly Father. We could not have wished for a better mother and grandmother. Mom, we love you and will miss you deeply until we are reunited.
