She passed away on November 11, 2012, at the Fillmore County Hospital in Geneva at the age of 89 years, 11 months and five days. She was one of six children in the family. Frances graduated from the Geneva High School with the class of 1940. She resided in Fillmore County almost all her life except for a short time spent in Hastings, prior to returning to Geneva. She lived in Geneva from 1945 until her death. Frances married Wayne Chapman on November 28, 1942, in Belleville, Kan. They started the marriage by staying in Lodi, Calif., while Wayne was in the military and then moved to Geneva after his discharge. Frances and Wayne started a family that kept her busy raising ten children, which nine are still alive and one was stillborn. She spent many of her hours raising a garden to feed the family, canned as much as possible. While she had very little, she was still able to go bowling on Monday nights. She was entertained by playing cards with friends, dancing and later years she and Wayne traveled to many places and fished as much as they could—but Bingo was her passion. She always remembered family and friends by sending cards for birthdays, anniversaries and her kindness is still being remembered by everyone. Frances worked at many jobs, including Barber Floral, cleaned houses, cream station for her father, Tom Brower; sold Fuller Brush, gave the Geneva news on the York radio station, election board, and then at the assessor’s office at the courthouse for three years while raising nine children. Frances is preceded in death by her parents, husband, Wayne, daughter, Leann Rae; daughter-in-law, Jo Ann Chapman; brothers, Billy Brower, Barney Brower and sisters, Doris Rocole and Carol Schafer. Francis is survived by her sons, Charles and wife Diana; Thomas and friend Virginia Neal, Jay and Linda, John and Lisa, LeRoy and Sharon; daughters, Bonnie Anderson and husband Gary; Susan Smith and husband Ron; Peggy Holmes and husband Mike, Kelly Turner and husband Brent, and sister, Evelyn Dunwoody; and her dearly loved 20 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted from the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Geneva on November 15, with Pastor William Switzer officiating.
