Stelmakh (Stelmach) (née Ketzer) Enya (Enja) Yudkovna(11 April 1911, Medzhibozh, Khmelnytskyi region) — worker.

Enya Stelmakh was born into the family of Yudko Gershkovich Ketzer (1860, Medzhibozh — killed in 1942, Gaisin, Vinnytsia region) and Radya Moshkovna Ketzer (1865, Medzhibozh — killed in 1942, Gaisin, Vinnytsia region). She received five years of basic schooling. Until 1941, she did not work.

In 1941, she was evacuated to the village of Dzhambul in the Alma-Ata region (Kazakhstan), where she worked on the collective farm “New Life” (1941–1943). In 1943, she moved to Krasnoyarsk, in 1944 to Vinnytsia, and in 1957 to Riga. From 1943 to 1969, she was not employed. From 1969 to 1973, she worked as a home-based worker (Riga home-work combine). From 1973 to 1975, she worked as a cleaner at the production association “Rīgas ekspresis.”

She was married to Aron Volkovich Stelmakh (1905, Turbiv district, Vinnytsia region). Their daughters were Tatyana Aronovna Shoykhet (née Stelmakh) (1933, Vinnytsia), Galina Aronovna Finkman (née Stelmakh) (1937, Vinnytsia), and Raisa Aronovna Aronshtam (née Stelmakh) (1946, Vinnytsia).
