of Bauxite, AR

February 13, 1972 - April 13, 2025

DeEtte Michele Stelljes, 53, of Bauxite, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 13, 2025. She was born in Benton, Arkansas, to Ralph Owens and Myrna Knight.

A woman of deep Christian faith, DeEtte lived her life with a generous heart and a joyful spirit. She was a devoted wife, loving mother, and cherished daughter who poured her heart into caring for those around her-both in her personal life and professional calling as a registered nurse. Her compassionate and nurturing soul touched the lives of countless patients and loved ones.

DeEtte had a vibrant personality that matched her favorite color-red. She had a passion for the simple pleasures in life: spending time with her family, doting on her beloved schnauzers, cat, and bird, and enjoying hobbies like quilting, gardening, and canning. Her warmth, creativity, and kindness will be remembered by all who knew her.

She is survived by her loving husband of 25 years, Robert Stelljes; her father and stepmother, Ralph and Kathy Owens; her mother, Myrna Owens; and her mother-in-law, Elizabeth Scott (John). She is also survived by her half-brother, Alan Robbins; half-sister, Cindy Bott; and two step-sisters, Deidre Metheny and Victoria Kannan. DeEtte leaves behind many friends and extended family members who will deeply miss her presence and the light she brought into their lives.

A memorial visitation and service to celebrate DeEtte's life will be held on Thursday, April 24, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Roller-Alcoa Funeral Home, 6700 Alcoa Road, Benton, Arkansas 72015.

DeEtte's legacy of love, compassion, and joy will live on in the hearts of all who had the honor of knowing her.
