Meeker residents Fay and Stacie Kincher are this week’s “home of” honorees. Both are Meeker natives and were graduated from Meeker High School. Fay’s parents are Betty (Warren) Kincher and the late Elry Kincher of Meeker. Fay’s great-great-grandparents, the Warrens and Kinchers, are Meeker pioneer families. Stacie’s parents are Liz Backes and the late Alfred Backes also of Meeker. Stacie’s family moved to the area in the early 1960s and lived up Wilson Creek. Fay and Stacie have been longtime friends for more than 20 years. They celebrated 10 years of marriage last April.
Fay is a gas well pumper for Koch (pronounced “coke”) Industries. Stacie is the athletic and financial secretary for Meeker High School.
The Kinchers have one daughter, Jennifer, 10. Jeni is a fourth-grader at Meeker Elementary School.
“We like to snowmobile and go upriver to enjoy the outdoors. Fay likes hot rod cars, snowmobiles, motorcycles, etc. We follow the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) races on TV and try to attend the Mile High NHRA drag race in Denver yearly. Jeni is in 4-H, so we’re involved in 4-H now,” Stacie said.
“I like the community and that Meeker is safe. It’s a great place to raise kids. I like the schools, the teachers and the family environment,” Stacie added.
