Frances was born in Grangemont, the oldest girl of 14 children, to Ethel and Warren Danner.
She and Harry were married Feb. 28, 1942, in Lewiston.
She was a strong and extremely resourceful little woman who was called on to take care of everything when Harry was seriously injured in World War II. For the two years that he was in the hospital recovering, she worked and cared for their daughter Karen. Later, she and Harry had daughter Shelley and then son Larry.
Throughout her life, Frances worked hard. She liked to keep busy, and was an accomplished seamstress and gardener. She canned, baked, knitted and crocheted. Crocheting was a huge part of her life and she donated more than 500 hand crocheted lap robes to the Shriners' Hospital, as well as making a personalized afghan for every member of her and Harry's families. She was an avid bowler for Seven-Up for many years. She was a member of the Daughters of the Nile, past worthy matron of the Order of Eastern Star, past president of Orchardettes Gardening Club and Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary, and was a member of the Order of the Amaranth.
She was very creative and did ceramics, beautiful paintings, and she loved to sing. She loved to travel and always kept her overnight bag packed and ready to go. She was willing to help anyone in need. In 2003, Frances went to live at Life Care Center in Lewiston. There she was loved and cared for, and referred to by most everyone as "Mama."
