Frances loved to work in the garden, read the Bible and enjoyed auto mechanics. She often felt that her most significant accomplishments in life were her children and grandchildren who she was very proud of. Frances would often talk about how she enjoyed and was very grateful she was able to be there for her grandchildren being born. As well as the times watching Julia take tootsie rolls from Pops shirt pocket and being there for the planning of her daughter’s wedding.

Frances always enjoyed the mountains and the beauty of God’s creation. She would never let anything stop her which also would sometimes get her in trouble. Frances was a longtime Boy Scout Troop Leader and was very passionate about it remaining a boy’s only organization. Church, friends, and family always gave Frances great enjoyment. She would not want any tears shed for her and would wish to family and friends to remember her as vibrant and alive.
