Kaitlin Rae Fancher passed away Monday, April 19, 2021 at age of 21. She was born May 11, 1999.

Kaiti (known to her family as “Kaiti Gator”) was a loving daughter, sister, granddaughter, and niece among many other deserving titles. Growing up, she had numerous accomplishments through 4-H and FFA. Kaiti studied abroad in Finland for her junior year of high school. She recently graduated with her Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing as a Crimson Scholar at NMSU in December 2020.

Kaiti had a unique ability to connect with people, especially some that are known to be more difficult than others. She was very independent and hard working. No task was too big for her to tackle. She had a wonderful smile. If you were fortunate enough to receive her smile, you knew she meant it. She loved learning languages. She spoke Finnish, Swedish, Spanish, and ASL.

If anything, Kaiti was an avid dog lover. One might think she loved dogs more than people. Kaiti’s hobbies included tie dyeing and collecting funky novelty socks.

Kaiti is survived by her father Ryan, mother Wendy, sister Chelsea, canine companions Biggie Smalls and Reggie, maternal grandparents Chip “GG” and Connie Greer of Truth or Consequences, NM, paternal grandparents Bobby Fancher (Deidre) of La Mesa, NM, and Dawn Pohl (Bill) of San Antonio, TX, Aunt Margaret Love Ortiz (Nicho) of Port Isabel, TX, Uncle Matt Greer of Katy, TX, Uncle Alex Fancher (Margarita) of Las Cruces, NM, Uncle Jake Fancher (Amanda) of Denver, CO, and Uncle Woody Utz (Carrie) of Buckeye, AZ along with many cousins and extended family.

A Funeral Service will be held Friday, April 30th at 10:00 am at the Fancher’s ranch in Hillsboro, NM.
