Frances was an active member within her community. She worked at St. Maries School District until her retirement. She is a member of the Eagles Lodge, played softball, & volunteered at the Senior Center.
She loved meeting up with friends & family; whether it was playing cards, shopping trips, lunch, traveling, or coffee & chatting. She enjoyed her garden & every summer picking huckleberries. She said that it was very therapeutic for her. We found her delicious huckleberry treats to be just as therapeutic.
Her greatest joy was her family. She had recently spent time with her great grandson’s, Nathan & Matthew. Guests were always welcome and left feeling better than when they arrived.
