She is survived by very caring nieces and nephews including Pam (David) Wollenburg of CA, Shirley Ann (Walter) Sands of Roseville, Everett (Mary) Moore of FL, and John (Deb) Moore of Circleville; several great nieces and great nephews. Frances' desire in life was to pursue a vocation in which she would be serving others. Her first job was being a custodian with her twin brother at the one room school they attended. Her second job was picking red raspberries and selling them for 50 cents a quart. After graduating from Somerset High School she attended Meredith Business College, but after the war broke out she felt she should be doing more. Through the help of her minister, she entered Ohio Wesleyan University, majoring in sociology but decided to teach. She began her teaching career at Somerset Elementary School. Then she went on to get her Master's Degree and taught in Perrysburg and later in Zanesville. While in Perrysburg she worked as Christian educator for the Zion U.M. Church. While teaching in Zanesville she served as District Director of Children's Work until the Methodist Church changed its approach to Christian education. After retirement she was not satisfied and so she went to MAJVS and studied to be a nurse's aide, but when she applied she was asked to be the Resident Services Director at the Helen Purcell Home. She thoroughly enjoyed her association with the Helen Purcell Home for nearly 30 years. Her joy was serving others. She volunteered at Bethesda Hospital for many years as well as at the Helen Purcell Home after retiring from her director position. She received many community awards, including the Women of Achievement Award from the Muskingum County Y. She was a member of the Delta Kappa Gamma education society and the A.A.U. W.Memorial services will be held at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, February 14, 2015 at William Thompson & Son Funeral Home, 5765 Gladstone Drive, White Cottage. Rev. John Edwards officiating.
