In the early morning hours Frances peacefully slipped from this life into the arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. At the time of her passing she was at her son Leonard's home surrounded by family.
Frances was born in Lushton, NE to Julius Griess and Clara Rauscher Griess. Growing up on a farm in Nebraska was hard work but the family was strong and they prospered, growing to a total of five boys and two girls.
In 1935, Frances met the love of her life, Leslie Ross McIntyre. A year later on November 10, 1936, they married and were not apart until his death in 1994, 58 years later.
During their lifetime they had three children and raised them with the values that were so dear to them; love your family, stand by them and do not judge.
Mother knew no strangers and could talk to anyone. She saw the good in everyone and was quick to help anyone who needed it. She had more friends then our minds can imagine.
She spent many years volunteering at the La Tienda Thrift Guild that benefits the Valley Children's Hospital and specialized in repairing the dolls there.
Mother spent the last 60 years in Fresno watching her extended family grow to 53.
Frances is preceded in death by her husband, Leslie; her parents; four brothers, Rubin Griess, Leo Griess, Gilbert Griess, and Marvin Griess; her sister, Sally Csernansky; and a great-grandson, Lane McIntyre.
