Stephanie Machele Ketron

1967 - 2018

Our beloved Stephanie Machele Ketron, 51, was taken from us as the result of a cerebral aneurysm. She was born in Farmington, NM on July 29, 1967 and passed in Albuquerque on August 14, 2018.
She was preceded in death by her son, Robert; her maternal grandparents, Nola Jean and Keith Rogers and her paternal grandfather, Curtis Ketron. She is survived by her parents, Sheryl Ketron and Jimmy and Terry Ketron; her brother, Tony Ketron and her sister, Shiloh Axeline (Aaron); her daughters, Brandi Johnson and Kandi Costa (Michael); her paternal grandmother, Jessie Faye Ketron and the lights of her life, her grandchildren, Bodie Johnson and Ethan and Lyla Costa.
She will be remembered by many for her constant smile, big heart and indomitable spirit. Her kindness and generosity will live on through her gifts as an organ donor.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Aztec's Minium Park September 8, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Condolences may be sent to Ketronmachele@gmail.com. In lieu of flowers, please consider contributions to Masada House or to the Aztec or Farmington Animal Shelters in Machele's memory.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the excellent staff at UNM Hospital's NSI wing, for their compassionate care not only of Machele, but for her family, and to the NM Donor Services team for their guidance and many kindnesses.
