Frances was born in Albertville but moved to Attalla. She was a graduate of Etowah High School. Frances was known by several names but her two favorites were mother and NANA . You couldn't spend 10 minutes around her without knowing she loved Jesus, her family and her First Baptist Church of Attalla family. She served her LORD faithfully at her beloved church as a Sunday School teacher, Training Union, AWANA, church office and served on every committee at some point during her 50 plus years of service. She not only served her church and community but was diligent in keeping Jesus as her focus and raising her family to keep Him at the center of their lives. She was employed by the Attalla Water Board and worked at Etowah High School as a substitute teacher and in the office.

Frances was an only child. Her father, David, died when she was 3 years old and she was raised by a single mother, Allie. However, she has been blessed to have sisters of the heart, Betty Nelson and Margaret Dean whom she loved and treasured their lifelong friendships.
Special thanks to Ariel Lett, who was mom's loving companion and friend for the last 2 years; Mary Conley, Krissie Chaman and Becky Cashio for the loving care you gave to her; Kathy Ashely of Comfort Care Hospice, her love and guidance allowed Frances and her family to transition her to her glorious life with comfort, dignity and reassurance. Special thanks to Jane Cleveland for always making her feel beautiful.
