March 9, 1918 - March 6, 2013

Frances was born in Winslow, Arizona to Concepcion and Margarito Mesa on March 9, 1918. She migrated to California with her family, finally settling on the central coast in San Juan Bautista in the 1930s. Frances and her younger sister Juanita were cannery workers in nearby Hollister, California for over 40 years and made many good friends among their co-workers. Frances was known to be a woman of strong faith and a devoted parishioner of the Old Mission San Juan Bautista. She was an avid supporter of the Fiesta Rodeo, the precursor to the current-day Mission Fiesta. She was also a long-time member of the Spanish Women's Prayer Group and enjoyed singing in the Mission Choir. Frances regularly attended daily mass, prayer group, and 10am mass on Sunday. This past year Frances was home bound and missed seeing her friends and fellow parishioners. Her good friend Sister Maria del Rey would bring Frances the Holy Eucharist, then stay to visit, pray, and sing hymns. It made her day. Frances' nephew and great niece were her special angels, always stopping by to make sure Frances had everything she needed and managing her care. They brought infinite joy to her final years.
