Olivia Ann Gonzales, 43, of Montrose, Colorado, passed away on November 24, 2023, after a courageous battle with metastatic breast cancer. She departed this world surrounded by the love and comfort of her family and friends. Born on June 12, 1980, in Las Vegas, New Mexico.

Olivia faced her diagnosis with incredible strength and resilience, becoming an inspiration to all who knew her.

Olivia enjoyed baking, tattoos, and getting her extreme nails done. Olivia was a devoted family person. She cherished every moment spent with her loved ones and created lasting memories that will be treasured forever. She was particularly proud of her role as a loving parent, and her children meant the world to her. She instilled in them the values of perseverance, kindness, and the importance of embracing life with open arms. In addition to her professional and family commitments, Olivia was an advocate for breast cancer awareness and support. She actively participated in various community events, raising awareness about the importance of early detection, and offering encouragement to those facing similar battles. Olivia is survived by her three daughters Tatyana, Adriana, and Lluvia. She is also survived by her sister Jessica Harrell and numerous family members, who will continue to honor her legacy by embodying the strength and love she exemplified throughout her life. Her memory will forever be etched in the hearts of her family, friends, and all those fortunate enough to have known her.
