Frances Ritchie

On Sunday, June 18, 2017, God looked down onto this earth and said, Fran, come home to Me. Frances Adelia Kyle was born November 23rd, 1940 in Seminole, Texas to Margaret and H.C. Kyle.

She attended Seminole schools where she graduated in 1959. Fran married Byron Ritchie on December 23rd, 1959 in McCamey, Texas. The couple moved from Fort Riley, Kansas to Olympia, Washington where Byron served in the US Army. In 1962, Fran and Byron moved to Hobbs, New Mexico where they created their home. Fran attended La Salle Extension University and received a diploma in Interior Decorating in 1967. She was an interior designer for Miller Waldrop in Hobbs for 37 years where she retired in 2004.

Fran was preceded in death by her father in 1958, mother in 1988, and her husband in 2012.

She is survived by one brother Carroll Kyle and wife Sharon of Seminole, one sister Diana and husband Mason Benton of Seminole, five sisters-in-law, one brother-in-law, and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews. We would like to thank Hobbs Elite Home Health Care, Seminole Memorial Health Care Center, Seminole Hospice, Helen Reimer and Rebecca Puente.
