Frances served as a foster mother in California for many years. She was not only active in the nursery, but also the woman's group of her church in California. She has always worked side by side with her husband, Norm, in his community projects. They, as a team, founded the first food bank as well as the commodity project. The commodity project's first home was the old Elks' building.
Frances made all the baby caps for the layettes that Grace Lutheran Church has prepared for years. She also made blankets from her sewing machine, which was always ready to make one more blanket.
She was always supportive of Norm in all his projects in the community, always praising his work. They made a great team.
