Francis Terrell Kalmbach

Francis Terrell Kalmbach, 80, died Tuesday, February 9, 2016, at his home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, following a brief illness.

He was preceded in death by his parents, William Chase Kalmbach and Ellen Terrell Kalmbach; his brother William Chase Kalmbach, Jr.; his brother and sister-in-law, Vernon Terrell Kalmbach and Carolyn Kalmbach; and his longtime partners, Bob Bourland and Harry Kessler Wright. Francis is survived by his four children and their families: Francis Terrell Kalmbach, Jr., his wife, Lynne DiPol Kalmbach, and children Ashley, Rebecca, Ellen, Elizabeth and Robert Kalmbach; Ellen Kalmbach Tizian and her husband, Carl Heinz Tizian, along with their children Christopher Tizian, Susan Tizian Schmidt and husband Sebastian, Caroline Tizian, and Julian Tizian; Lewis Kilbourne Forrester Kalmbach and husband Greg Ott, and their son, Jasper Kalmbach Ott; and Samuel Atkinson Kalmbach, wife Leslie Idom Kalmbach, and children Sam and Madeline Kalmbach; several great-grandchildren, his former wife, Susan Forrester Roberts; his sister-in-law, Sally Kalmbach; and many nieces and nephews. Francis also left behind numerous extended family members and many close friends who fondly referred to him as "Paco".

Born on November 4, 1935 and raised in Shreveport, Francis lived for over 40 years in the artist colony of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. He attended Sewanee Military Academy, Washington and Lee University, Louisiana State University, and Tulane University where he received a degree in architecture. He worked as an architect in Shreveport before turning to a successful career pursuing his art.

Francis was a talented artist, and his true passion was painting. He devoted much of his life to creating beautiful impressionist works, many featuring children. His paintings were shown across the South and many hang in the homes of art-loving Shreveport friends. He was personable, witty, an animal lover and extremely well-traveled, finding inspiration for his paintings in the beautiful places he visited.

In accordance with his wishes, no funeral services will be held. The family suggests memorials to the Philadelphia Center or Robinson's Rescue.
