Frances was the best mother and grandmother a person could have. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother in which she dedicated her entire life to her family. Frances' house, heart, and kitchen were always open to her family and friends. She loved cooking and baking, some of her bests being her biscuits & gravy and her delicious holiday pies.

She is back in the arms of her most beloved, Bobby. May she now rest in peace.
