Frances experienced a full life. In the first part of her life she experienced great love, friendship and tragedy. She was a strong woman and persevered through the loss of her best friend and husband as well as the loss of her son David. She took on a career as a surgical tech at a downtown Tulsa hospital which she worked at for over 20 years. After many years of being unwed she met her second love, Raymond Hall, and soon every one knew her as his "Sweety heart"

During these times her daughters had families of their own and she spent many days traveling across country to spend time with each of her grand children. Once retired she spent countless hours volunteering for Meals on wheels, honing her skills at Uno and she found enjoyment in quilting, embroidery and crocheting. Each of her Grandchildren received tokens of her love in the form of quilts and afghans to which they cherish to this day.

Frances lived in Tulsa Oklahoma the majority of her adult life and was a faithful member of Garnet Baptist Church.
