Stanley R. Sleeter, age 80, passed away peacefully at his home Monday evening, July 31, 2006, following a courageous battle with cancer. He was born July 19, 1926 in Decatur, IL, to the late Helen and Rudy Sleeter. He graduated from Eureka High School in 1944 and served in the Navy during WWII. Stan married the love of his life, Betty on June 11, 1955. They moved to Albuquerque in 1959. He was the first head of the math department at Del Norte High School and held that position until he retired in 1986.

Second only to his 51 year marriage to Betty, Stanley was most proud of rearing a strong and unified large family, all of whom adored him and through which his honorable legacy will survive and grow. He was fond of gardening, bowling, being his children's biggest fan, and fixing just about anything. Stan was survived by his wife, Betty; sister, Doris, children, Michael, David, Lisa, and Richard; nine grandchildren, Marisa, Ryan, Justin, Amy, Joshua, Kyle, Gavin, Trey, and Joseph.
