Obituary of Jamie Marissa Gulick

Jamie Marissa Gulick, a devoted mother, fierce advocate, avid runner, and compassionate friend, passed away on December 5, 2024, at the age of 41. 

Jamie leaves behind two beloved children, ages 8 and 12, who were the center of her world and her greatest inspiration. She dedicated her life to nurturing their dreams, building a foundation of love and strength that will carry them forward.

Born on May 2, 1983, Jamie lived her life with an unmatched sense of purpose, turning her lifelong struggle with congenital heart disease into a source of inspiration and advocacy. 

She founded 2Hearts, a nonprofit organization that helps children with congenital heart disease transition into adulthood and take charge of their health with confidence and independence.

Jamie loved to travel, was a Broadway musical aficionado, and was happiest outdoors – recently finishing her first long-distance trail running race. She approached every moment with courage and gratitude. Her unshakable optimism inspired everyone she met, as she encouraged those around her to live with intention, love deeply, and care for one another.

Jamie will be deeply missed, and her life was a testament to the power of resilience and determination. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her children, family, friends and the countless lives she touched through her work.

A celebration of Jamie’s life will be held on Friday, December 13th, at 10 am MST at Congregation Rodef Shalom in Denver, Colorado.

For those unable to attend in person, a live stream of the service will be available at www.rodef-shalom.org/stream.

In lieu of flowers or food, the family requests that you make a donation to Joy as Resistance, Adult Congenital Heart Association, or Centro Humanitaro Para Los Trabajadores.

Reception at Rodef Shalom to follow immediately after service.
