With a passion for helping others, she joined the El Paso Police Department in 1989 and eventually earned her Associates Degree in Law Enforcement in 1995 at EPCC. Being passionate and skillful in many facets of Law Enforcement, her tour of duties included being a Patrol Officer, a Police Area Representative (PAR) for the community of the Lower Valley 83rd & 87th districts, a Public Information Officer (PIO) - the media spokesperson for EPPD, a School Resource Officer (SRO) for Rio Bravo Middle School, a Crime Prevention Officer, and she eventually retired from the department in 2009 after having served for 20 years.

She loved roses, drawing, gardening, Star Trek, traveling, animals, collecting crosses, but most of all, she especially loved her children. She is survived by all four children; her sisters, Michelle Guerrero, Petie Augle, & Corinna Guerrero; one nephew and several nieces. As our dearest daughter, mother, sister, aunt, & mentor, we are comforted by her impactful touch in the world and her eternal creed: “In God’s Time”.
