She took care of many children throughout the years in her home daycare.

Frances was loved by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She was bright, energetic, fun loving, kind and caring. She loved to laugh, and make those around her smile. She enjoyed going to ceramics with the girls from work collecting Pillsbury Doughboys ornaments, playing bingo, tending to her flowers and the garden, going to the cottage in the summer and cooking amazing meals.
