Shirley Ray Lytle

February 11, 1945 - October 10, 2026

Shirley Ray Lytle, 81, of Rule, Texas, passed away on October 10, 2026.

Born on February 11, 1945, in Blythe, California, Shirley lived a life filled with love, faith,

creativity, and devotion to those she held dear.

Shirley had a special gift for creating beautiful things with her hands. She enjoyed plastic

canvas projects and all kinds of crafts, finding happiness in the simple joys of making

something special. She also had a deep love for animals, whose companionship brought

her much comfort and joy.

Above all, Shirley loved Jesus. Her faith was an important part of who she was and

remained with her until the very end. In fact, one of the last things she spoke about was her

love for Jesus - a beautiful and comforting reminder of the faith she carried throughout her

life.

Shirley was preceded in death by her beloved son, Bill Hix.

She is survived by her sons and daughters-in-law, Matthew and Tanya Lytle and Ron and

Robin Hix; her grandchildren, Madison and Colter Smith and David Hix; along with other

family members and friends who will forever cherish her memory.

While her family will deeply miss her presence, her love, the memories she created, and

the faith she held so dearly will live on in their hearts.

Though she is no longer with us here on earth, we find comfort in knowing that she is now in

the arms of the Savior she loved so much.

"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." - 2 Timothy 4:7

(KJV)
