Frances loved the outdoors and spent many happy days camping, hiking and picnicking with her family and friends. She loved animals and birds and kept her bird feeders full year round. She loved gardening and was always surrounded by flowers. In the spring the planting of her flowers was an annual event. Her hanging plants were always in sight, summer and winter. She loved the dogwoods and the red buds in the spring and the beautiful foliage of autumn. She played the piano and loved music. Frances was a loving, caring wife, mother and grandmother. She was dearly loved and will live on in the memories of all who knew her. |
