Stephanie Elizabeth Kinzler
Age 45, a resident of Farmington, Arkansas, passed away Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at her home. She was born February 2, 1980 in Little Rock, Arkansas, the daughter of Gary and Phoebe "Susie" (Hamilton) Kettles.
Stephanie graduated from Bryant High School in 1998 and worked in the front office of several dental offices in central and northwest Arkansas. She attended the University of Arkansas to be a teacher but after the birth of their first child on July 30, she decided that she could not leave him that soon and decided that the best teaching job she could ever have would be as a stay-at-home mom to Jace and Jolie where we think she excelled.
She was a member of Cross Church - Fayetteville and attended the first service that the Fayetteville campus had. She also worked in the Cross Church Kids Day Out.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents Willene Nix Tilton, Paul H. Tilton, Isaac Hamilton, and Louise Hamilton. She is also preceded in death by her son, Isaac (Ike) Kinzler.
Survivors include her two children Jace and Jolie "Jo" Kinzler; ex-husband Clayton Kinzler; her parents Gary and Phoebe Kettles.
The family will receive friends Friday, April 11, 2025, 6:00-8:00 PM at Luginbuel Funeral Home.
Funeral service will be held 10:00 AM Saturday, April 12, 2025, at Luginbuel Chapel in Prairie Grove, Arkansas. Burial will be in the Prairie Grove Cemetery.
