TETTERINGTON, LYNN slipped quietly away on Wednesday, February 13, 2013. After a bout with breast cancer that had recently metastasized. She died peacefully in her sleep after only a week at Lovelace Health Center. Lynn will be reunited with her parents, Audrey and Dale Tetterington who preceded her in death. Audrey and Dale were married in 1943 at the Kirtland Air Force Base Chapel. They remained in Albuquerque after the war and started a tiny whole sale donut business. They began frying and delivering what would later be known as their famous glazed donuts in the rented back room of a little grocery store in Martinez Town. The business became Jill's Bakery and by the time the bakery was sold in 1973, it employed 208 people and produced more than 300 hundred varieties of baked goods that were delivered over a four state area. Audrey and Dale were very active in the community. Dale served for years on the Presbyterian hospital Board, and Audrey was involved in many volunteer organizations to this day. As you enter the Presbyterian Hospital main lobby you can see a photo of Audrey, as she volunteered by helping patients in the hospital. In fact, the first job Lynnie had was marking cartons of donut boxes 10 cents with a black wax pencil for Jill's Bakery. She later went on to bigger things, attending the University of Denver and studying in Paris at the Sorbonne before graduating from the University of New Mexico with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1972, then with a Juris Doctor Degree from U.N.M. Law School. Her most loved job as a lawyer, was in Window Rock, Arizona where she was an attorney for the Department of Justice for The Navajo Nation. She later moved to Farmington, New Mexico where she was an attorney with the City of Farmington. She did freelance work in Phoenix, Arizona and in Albuquerque. Lynn continued until just recently a vast array of jobs, liking the challenge of doing many different things. She never felt as if her job were work, instead feeling that she was helping her employer do better business and helping the clients achieve their goals. Lynn was born in Albuquerque at St. Josephs Hospital on April 27, 1949. it is fitting that she passed on at the age of 63 from Lovelace which is actually connected to the old St. Josephs. She has come full circle. In her life, she traveled extensively with her parents and with her sister, Jill, seeing the entire United States, especially Hawaii, when her parents retired there. She made several trips to France, also visiting Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and the British Isles. She enjoyed an extensive cruise to Norway and later cruised the Greek Islands. Her last big trip was with her sister to Africa. Lynn loved to learn, she was always interested in other cultures, spoke fluent French and Spanish and never saw a PBS show she didn't just love and couldn't memorize. Her friends remember her sharp wit and dry sense of humor. She loved doing things for other people, always offering encouraging advice and giving generously of her time to those who needed her. Many, many, thanks to those close to her who took her on great excursions like Acoma, the Petroglyphs, the Super Bowl, the Christmas Lights. Thanks to friends who brought her food, special orders from Furr's or Black Augus, picked up prescriptions, and helped her clean and organize. Special thanks to her friend who attended every Doctors appointment, every chemo infusion and every decision making meeting with notebook and pen, always in hand. Friends helped her move boxes, fixed her car, gave her months of free storage, and acted silly over ice cream. She will be missed by her friends and by her sister, Jill T. Alfrey, now living in Denver. But our hearts are gladdened knowing that Lynnie is now frolicking thru heavenly meadows with her long time companion, tuxedo cat, Wooster, aka Woosie. Contributions may be made to the American Heart Association, The American Cancer Society, Good Shepherd Animal Shelter or to your favorite charity in Lynn's name. Your are invited to spend a day, any nice, easy, convenient day as a memorial to Lynn. You may want to have lunch in Santa Fe, or take a picnic to the Jemez, or you may want to just sit in your beautiful backyard and remember. Please feel free to invite Jill, to share with you, some time celebrating Lynnies life. You can contact her in Denver. She will be coming often to Albuquerque. Spend a moment in the spirit of these poems & others found online at BereavementPoems www.muchloved.com "Where Do They Go"? Kev F 21st August 2007, "The Final Flight" Author Unknown, "Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep" Mary Frye (1932). You may want to take a special spiritual trip to the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort at the Santa Ana Pueblo, stroll the grounds shop in the wonderful gift shops, have dinner, or enjoy refreshments in the lobby and remember the joy that Lynnie brought to life, directions are on the web site, and as you enter the lobby and behold the glorious view of the Rio Grande River Valley and the Sandia's off in the distance, you will know that Lynnie is near to you, that she is just different now. Her ashes will be spread in all of her favorite places, and she will always remain dear to our hearts and living in our memories. Arrangements by Direct Funeral Services 2919 4th St. NW.

STUMP, JAMES E. (JIMMY) Age 80, went home to be with his Lord and Savior November 18, 2012. Born February 25, 1932 to Charlie and Nora Stump. Jimmy is survived by his first born children from Nadine, who was a very loving wife and mother, James Monroe Stump and wife Kathy, Debbie Stump, Cindy Flett and husband Tom; three other children by a second marriage include Gina Jaramillo, Junior Stump, and Jean Ann Encineas; collectively 16 grandchildren; nine great- grandchildren; brother Millard Stump; sister Esther Armijo; brother-in-law Walter Bracken; sister-in-law Thelma Stump; a special nephew Roy Howard, who assisted with many tasks that Jimmy was unable to perform; and numerous nieces and nephews that loved him dearly. Jimmy was preceded in death by Nadine Stump (the mother of his first born children); a son Perry Stump; and grandson James Monroe Stump Jr. Jimmy was one of ten children, his parents and seven siblings went on before him to be with the Lord. This was an incredible loving family of brothers and sisters, all their lives they shared a closeness rarely seen today. How they emulate such compassion and concern for one another is truly an inspiration; especially Esther, who checked on parents and siblings daily; always there to take care of their needs and to keep each informed of how the other is doing. After serving 13 years as a police officer, Jimmy left APD to pursue his craft as a very talented carpenter and mechanic. Unfortunately, diabetes took away his ability to do much physically. Jimmy will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Cremation has taken place by Riverside Funeral Home.

Obituary for SANTISTEVAN

SANTISTEVAN, ARMANDO J. died on March 4, 2013. He closed his eyes in sleep, and awoke to see the glorious face of God. Born in 1922, he was a member of what has rightly been called "America's Greatest Generation": those kids who came of age during the deprivation of the Great Depression, fought and helped win a world war, and rebuilt America into the great country it is today. He was born in Taos, New Mexico - in the shadow of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains - to Cruz and Frances Santistevan, and spent his youth ranching in his beloved mountains of northern New Mexico. He was a U.S. Army veteran of WWII, a member of the American GI Forum, the Knights of Columbus, and the Catholic Cursillo Movement, but his most important role was Dad and Grandpa. Dad was born with an appetite for travel. Following the war, he saw the sky and followed the sun; moving with his family around the American west. In addition to travel, he loved animals, being outdoors, fishing and hunting, the big sky, motorcycles, and Star Trek. Most of all, he loved being in what he lovingly called "the high country." Over the course of his life, he held a number of jobs. He and mom devoted their lives to caring for their extended families, but the greater part of his career was spent with the Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S Forest Service. Both of which allowed him to spend so much time in the outdoors that he cherished. As a surveyor, he walked miles of New Mexico's llanos, canyons, and mountains - and throughout the state, there are way points and survey markers named after his friends and children. He had an engaging smile and a wonderful sense of humor. He will be profoundly missed by all of us who loved him so very much. He was preceded in death by brothers Robert Mossman, Julian Duran, and Deacon Patrick Santistevan; by his dearly-loved wife of fifty years, Petrita Romero Santistevan; son Michael; and daughter Fabiola. He is survived by two sisters, Alice Sosa and Mabel Rich, and by six children, 24 grandchildren, 42 great-grandchildren, and seven great-great-grandchildren. In addition to countless friends and loved ones, he is also survived by his wife Irene - over whom he cared so well - and by his constant canine companion of 18 years, Toby. "Look to the heavens and count the stars so shall your posterity be." Gen. 15-5. Services will be conducted at Prince of Peace Catholic Church, located at 12500 Carmel Avenue NE. A rosary will be recited on Monday, March 11 at 7:00 PM. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, March 12 at 10:00 AM, followed by a reception at the church parish center. Internment and military honors will be conducted at a private ceremony. Farewell, dear voyageur - the river winds and turns; The cadence of your song wafts near to me, And now you know the thing that all may learn: There is no death - there's immortality
