Frances Leona Plant Wilcox
(May 16, 1925 - November 26, 2011)
Frances Leona Plant Wilcox of Flagstaff, Arizona was called to Heaven on Nov. 26 2011. She spent her final days celebrating Thanksgiving with her loved ones by her side. She will be missed by everyone.
Frances was born on May 16, 1925 in Estanica NM to her parents, Alvin and Ana Mae Plant . Frances was raised in and around Albuquerque, NM. After high school she moved to El Paso, TX where she met the love of her life, Buddy Wilcox. They married in Las Cruces, NM. She was a loving wife to her Husband Buddy who worked for El Paso Natural Gas. Frances was a wonderful loving mother to her three children; William A. , Katherine Lea, and Dennis Ray.
They moved from El Paso TX, to Marana AZ in 1964 then relocated to Leupp, AZ in 1968. After Buddy's retirement in 1983 they settled in Flagstaff AZ . There she provided loving childcare to many children including some of her grandchildren.
Frances was known as "Grandmother" to many. She had a very special way with children. She loved and cared for every child that came into her life as if they were her own. Not only did she enjoy babysitting but she enjoyed teaching Sunday school, sewing, walking, watching sports, and going on family vacations, especially to Disneyland. "It's A Small World" was her favorite ride.
Frances was a devoted Christian and loved to go to church. You would see here there every Sunday and Wednesday. Teaching children about Jesus was something she loved to do. She taught Sunday School at every church she attended from El Paso, Texas to Flagstaff, Arizona. She had the biggest most loving kind gentle heart, and never had a bad thing to say about anyone.
Frances was preceded in death by her parents, husband, one sister, 3 brothers and one son (Dennis).
Frances is survived her son William A (Nancy) of Sierra Vista AZ, daughter Katherine Schutte (Phillip) of Flagstaff AZ, and daughter in law Vicki Wilcox of Flagstaff AZ.
