Julia Contreras

February 17, 1926 — June 10, 2024

Julia (Gutierrez) Contreras, born on February 17, 1926, in Autlán, Jalisco, México, passed away peacefully on June 10, 2024, at home, with her loving family. She lived a long and fulfilling life, deeply rooted in her Catholic faith and dedicated to her family.

Julia was preceded in death by her beloved husband of over 65 years, Ramón Contreras, and her dear children Agustín, Ramoncito, Joseito, and Guillermo. Her legacy of love and family continues through her surviving children: three sons, Presciliano, Andres, and Jose Ramon and six daughters, Maria Virginia, Elena, Maria Dolores, Rosa, Maria Guadalupe, and Julia. 

Julia's life was blessed with a large and loving family, including 24 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren.

A devout Catholic, Julia’s life was a testament to her enduring faith, her resilience, and her boundless love for her family. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
