She always had special treats for those that visited and her cinnamon rolls, bread and cookies will be remembered by all her family. Her smile and laugh will be missed by all those that knew her. Frances had a strong faith and attended mass as often as she could until her health failed. Frances’s television was usually tuned to EWTN and she could be found praying different prayers and the rosary throughout the day. Frances was a member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Early where she served as the President of the Catholic Daughters of America; was a member of the Peace and Justice Committee and Legion of Mary, and a lifetime member of the guild.
