Frank G. Hill

1930-2022

Frank G. Hill was the ripe old age of 91. He lived most of his life in Scholle, New Mexico. He loved living with the Rocky Mountains in his back yard! He passed from this world on March 1, 2022.

He was one of a dying breed – a true cowboy. He lived and breathed to be in the country, in wide open spaces with New Mexico blue skies and clear starry nights, good life long friends and true neighbors. He always had a smile on his face and looked on the bright side of every situation. He will be painfully missed. He was also no nonsense; Would tell it to you straight and expected you to do the same!

Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Nina Ona and Henry W. Hill Sr. Siblings: Crawford, Darrelle, Susie, Anna, Elenor, Marcia, Mildred, Henry W. Jr. and his son Donald Lee Hill, David Allen, many close cousins and wonderful friends.
