Frances was one of my classmates at Noble, West Junior High, and Columbian High Schools. I am sad knowing she has passed, but happy to know she spent so many years as a nurse´s aide, and enjoyed hearing her "patients´ stories". This photo will be treasured by me as I think of her in the future, as she appears very content with her life. Condolences to her family!
