Frances Wyrick Obituary

Frances Wyrick, 96, died at her residence in Boulder, Colorado on October 18, 2014. She was born on October 11, 1918 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In 1951 Frances married Melvin A. Wyrick. She worked at the Post Office in Boulder, Colorado. Frances was an active member of two lineage societies, The Daughters of American Revolution since 1982, and The Daughters of the American Colonists since 1986. In both chapters the activities done for our veterans were most important in her life. Frances also treasured and guided her DAR Arapahoe Chapter's spring activity of working with Ken Fisher of the City of Boulder Forestry Department to plant a tree each Arbor Day at Chautauqua Park and then at Scott Carpenter Park. She and Melvin loved touring on their Gull Wing Honda motorcycle. She had an avid interest in horseracing, and watching the Broncos play. Her greatest love was music, she especially like to hear her friend Bob play her Hammond organ. Frances is survived by nephew Ron Morgan.

Terry, Isaac and I have such wonderful memories of spending time with Melvin and Frances at their mountain home. Frances was a woman who was simply ahead of her times and I enjoyed being around her so very much. A life well lived for sure, and some adventure along the way--absolutely. We celebrate her life and our memories of her create lots of smiles. Debra Hadsall

Dear Ron, Frances was one of the sweetest fun woman that I've ever known. When I joined Arapahoe Chapter NSDAR Frances was one of the officers and welcomed me with open arms. She will be missed. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

My Aunt Frances was a wonderful, unselfish, and a very thoughtful lady. She had a great and remarkable life. She traveled around and lived in many places before moving to Boulder.

She will be missed very much. Aunt Frances was very dear to me, and inspired me so much in life. She added a lot to my life and my wonderful memories of her will never be forgotten. She recently told me when I saw a butterfly, to think of her, as she loved butterflies.
May God Bless all that knew her as well as all of the Veterans that she gave so much to and added to their lives.
