Monica Kim Ketcham (Lee), 64, of Los Lunas, New Mexico, former long-time resident of Colorado, passed into eternal rest on September 6th, 2024 after a courageous battle with long-term medical conditions. Born on the 1st of November 1959, Monica – known to most as Kim – was a steadfast beacon of love in the lives of her devoted family as a Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister, and Mimi.
Kim is lovingly remembered by her husband, Barry Ketcham, with whom she shared a blessed 44 year union filled with unwavering companionship and support. She leaves behind her beloved daughters Jessica Ketcham and Brittany Goering, a cherished granddaughter Ashlynn Goering who were the light of her life. She is also survived by her father, Dick Lee; her sisters, Cathy Simpson (Cleave) and Denise Lee Marquez, and a host of loving relatives and dear friends. Kim now rejoins in peace with her mother Katie Lou Lee and her brother Steven Lee who preceded her in passage.
A woman of many passions, Kim enjoyed traveling, exploring various food cuisines, reading a wide range of literature, crafting, and gardening, of which many of these were also passed on to her daughters.
The Ketcham family expresses their gratitude for the heartfelt condolences received. Services will be held privately, managed with dignity and care by Noblin Funeral Home, Los Lunas, NM. Internment will be announced at a later date to be held in Alamosa, CO.
Kim's memory will live on in the many lives she touched with her vivaciousness and her enduring love. May she rest in peace.
