Frances enjoyed the simple things in life. In her free time, you could find her in her backyard pruning her flowers or growing her garden. She was known for her generosity in the kitchen, providing meals for the local VFW or making her famous Chicken Alfredo for her children and grandchildren. She also had a passion for fishing and loved to toss a line in the water when she got a chance. Above all, Frances adored her grandchildren and cherished the time they had spent together playing board games and doing puzzles.
