Mary "Frances" Greenwood, 97, was born in Homestead, Florida on January 4, 1922. She was the oldest of 5 children and in 1940 married her high school sweetheart, Lueben Greenwood. They lived in Miami for 25 years where they raised their 2 daughters.
In the 1965 they moved to Tallahassee, Florida. Frances was the administrative Assistant to the head of the language department at the Florida Department of Education. Upon retirement, they moved to Pensacola.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 70 years, and all of her younger siblings and their spouses. She leaves behind her 2 daughters, Karen Couch and Diane Tillman, 5 grandchildren, 7great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild.
She was truly the matriarch of her family… A smart, ambitious, loving, high spirited woman... and as anyone who knew her would tell you… She loved to play cards.
