Frances was a full-time homemaker. She enjoyed gardening, sewing, painting, canning, and cooking.  She also took over the farm chores when her husband, James, was away working in the oil field.  Her favorite thing of all was spending time with friends and family.  Even though her eyesight did no longer let her read, she enjoyed listening to audio books and gospel music in the afternoon.  She was a loving mother, sister-in-law, grandmother, aunt, wife, and prayer warrior. Frances was a lifetime member of the Charity Baptist Church, Wilsie WV.  She actually met her husband at Charity.

The family would like to extend gratitude to the caring nurses that always made her smile.  Lynn (Chaplain) for all the wonderful visits and other staff of WV Caring Hospice that have become like part of the family.
