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.

Frances was named for my grandmother, who was Julianna's sister. Their mother was Margaret Zettner, and father William Louis Volkert. They had 3 children; William Louis Jr, Frances (born Wilhemina), Julianna, and Viola. All were born in Brooklyn, NY. When their mother died in 1910 of TB, the father put the 3 girls up for adoption. They came on an orphan train to Iowa in Nov 1912 and were adopted by 3 different families. I have all their stories, photos, and many documents, plus links to other relatives. If you wish to know more, contact me at [email protected].

Juliann Volkert was my grandmother Frances Volkert's sister. The 3 sisters, Frances, Viola, and Julianna, and one brother, Louis William Jr were born in Brooklyn to Louis William Volkert and Margaret/ Margaretha Zettner. After their mother died in 1910 from TB, their father placed the girls out for adoption. They came on an Orphan Train to Clear Lake, Iowa in Nov 1912, where they were adopted by 3 different families and forever separated. Please contact me if you are interested in learning more of their lives.

Francis and my mother Nellie, were great friends. They often came to Arkansas to visit with us and they so enjoyed the arts and crafts here in Mountain View. I always enjoyed Francis, her smile and laughter and she was so much fun to visit with. I admired her courage and how she coped with the sorrow and joys of life. I will always treasurer the wonderful times spent with Francis. May God Bless her and her family. Jim & Zondra Ramey

Dear Janet and Julia and families .... I will miss your Mom more than you will know. I always adored her and was so proud she was my aunt. I knew beyond a shadow of doubt that she loved me dearly and that alone, is a very treasured memory. My heart is sad along with yours. May God give us all comfort in the memories that will be with us from here on. Love to you both, Sharon
