Elizabeth Keenom Obituary

AZTEC
Elizabeth ""Jody"" Jo Griffin Keenom
Aug. 16, 1954-Oct. 9, 2012

Elizabeth ""Jody"" Jo Griffin Keenom, 58, of Aztec, died on Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2012, in Aztec. She was born Aug. 16, 1954, in Durango, Colo., to Walter L. and Flora Joyce (Gaston) Griffin.
She was our beloved mother, wife and most important, Granny.
Jody was born and raised in Aztec. She touched the lives of all who knew her.
She was the mother of three and Jo-mama to many.
Jody loved and lived for her husband of 39 years. She loved nothing more than being with her children and grandbabies.
Summer was her favorite season because it was warm and she could be at the lake on her houseboat or out ""troopin"" watching the sunrise.
Jody loved her music and dancing. To know her was to love her.
She will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
She was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Bo Griffin and her sister, Barbara (Griffin) Wright.
Jody is survived by her husband, Donnie Keenom; son, Bud (Samantha) Keenom; daughters, Sonya Keenom and Angela (Steven) Chapman; sisters, Kay Likes, Sue Coberly, Beckie McClain and Tina Giles and four grandchildren, Logan, Deegan and Olivia Keenom and Hallie Chapman.
A memorial service will be 10 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 18, at Bethel Baptist Church, 201 Heiland Road in Aztec, with Bob Schlauger officiating.
Arrangements are with Cope Memorial Chapel, 405 S. Main Ave., in Aztec 505-334-9332.

God called your name so gently that only you could hear. No one heard the footsteps of the Angel drawing near. Softly from the shadows there came a gentle call. You closed your eyes and went to sleep. You quietly left us all. I love you momma. I miss you so much.

Donnie, Sonya and all the family. What sad and unexpected news this was for us. We had just gotten reacquainted with Jody the last few years at the lake. She was just a joy to be around. I just loved to see her as she shared immediately whatever was on her mind and her slant on any situation always made me laugh. Sonya we are so sad for you and the rest of the family-just always cherish the memories!

To Sonya & Family, I cant begin to imagine the loss you are suffering now. Jody was an amazing women, when she walked into a room you couldnt help but smile. From the day i met Sonya and Jody at the lake, they became family to me. Jody will be greatly missed but will live on in her kids and grandkids forever. I love and miss you Sonya and i'm always just a phone call away.

I am at a loss for words, but we had some great times in school. Hiding in the gym from Mrs. Karlin. Ditching school and getting caught in Farmington by Mr. Hill. Sliding down the concrete ditch ripping out the seat of our shorts. Riding the motorcycle on the dirt roads behind your house. I will always remember you!! Vickie (Ford) Greenleaf
