Frances Eaton Burns, 83, of Mount Vernon, passed away on March 20, 2017 surrounded by her family.
Frances was born to Delbert and S. Helen Eaton on September 12, 1933 in Terry, Montana. She was the youngest of five children; Margaret, Harold, Vernon, and Dorothy. At an early age her family moved to Oak Harbor, WA. Frances graduated from Oak Harbor High School in 1951.
She met the love of her life James Lee Burns and they married February 22, 1952. Jim served in the Navy, moving from Hawaii, Iowa, and then back to Oak Harbor. In 1960, Frances and Jim settled in Mount Vernon, WA. They shared 62 years of marriage when Jim passed in October 2014.
Mother of three children; Darrell, Florence and Carl, she volunteered for the school PTA, was a room mother and assisted with girl scouts and boy scouts.
Frances was a seamstress, an avid rug hooker and made many wonderful wall portraits. She enjoyed knitting, crocheting, cooking, baking and working on puzzles.
Frances spent extensive time with her grandchildren, teaching them to play cards and board games.
Frances and Jim loved music from the Old Time Fiddlers. They also spent time swimming at the YMCA together.
She is survived by her loving family; son, Darrell (Charlene) Burns of Mount Vernon, WA, daughter Florence Rose-Banks (Bruce Banks) of Mount Vernon, WA and son Carl (Carla) Burns of Long Beach, WA; grandchildren, Nathan (Charlotte) Burns, Ann Burns (Chad Agan), Alisa (Jeremy) Hoffman, Dustin Rose and Devin Rose; great-grandchildren, Callie and Cooper Burns and Addison Rose-Campbell; siblings, Margaret Bodin, (sister), Dorothy (Johnny) Schulz (sister), Helen Eaton (sister-in-law) and several nieces and nephews.
Frances was preceded in death by her parents, Delbert and S. Helen Eaton; husband, James Burns; brothers, Harold (Donna) Eaton and Vernon Eaton; granddaughter, Beth Ann Burns.
Our family would like to extend a special thank you to The Bridge living facility for the loving and compassionate care given to Frances.
In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to Seattle Children's Hospital or to Research for Alzheimers.
A memorial service will be this Summer. An announcement will be at a later date.
