More than any material possession Francis adored her children and her four beautiful grandsons. Frances was a hard worker, working many years at Lakeside, where she was known and loved by many. Frances was always up for a good chuckle, had a contagious giggle and could banter with the best, especially her buddy Larry Pierce.
