The Mount St. Mary Academy community, along with countless family members and friends, is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Sarah Isabel Alvarez Gutierrez, who tragically passed away this past weekend as the result of a devastating car accident. At just 21 years old, Sarah’s life, full of promise, faith, and kindness, was cut far too short.
A proud member of the Mount St. Mary Academy Class of 2021, Sarah was remembered by her school community with deep affection. “Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let Your perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen,” the school shared in tribute—a reflection of the love and spiritual connection Sarah inspired in those around her.
Her passing has left her family shattered with grief. Her sibling wrote, “As many of you know, my youngest sister passed away this past weekend in a terrible car wreck. Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support. We will share the arrangements as soon as we can. For any questions or updates, please text me directly. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.”
Sarah was known for her warm heart, her gentle spirit, and the joy she brought into every room she entered. Her compassion, her bright smile, and the love she freely gave will remain forever in the hearts of those who had the blessing of knowing her. Though her time on earth was brief, her impact was profound.
As the Alvarez Gutierrez family prepares to share service details in the coming days, they ask for continued prayers, support, and compassion during this unimaginably difficult time.
May Sarah rest in the eternal peace of God’s embrace, and may her memory remain a light to all who loved her.
