She finished her career as a Testing Coordinator for Denver City High School. She created many long-lasting friendships during her years in education. Frances and Scott farmed and raised a family in Wellman, Texas. Frances’s greatest legacy is her family, and she would be quick to tell you they were her greatest joy. Frances and Scott were blessed with three children, Shane, Sarah, and TyScott. Frances was one of a kind. All who knew her celebrated her natural candor and fierce loyalty to all those she loved. She was a consummate farm wife and “Mother Earth” serving three hot meals a day and helping with the show animals. She was known to have the ability to re-introduce a lost calf to its mother in the pasture, shoot a troublesome rattlesnake outside of a bathroom window and yet she could easily dazzle everyone with her beauty when the occasion arose. Her talents and grit knew no boundaries. Frances was a voracious reader—everything from the classics to Agatha Christie to Louise Penny. She made beautiful artwork quilts for her family and friends. She also had an innate ability to repair almost anything. Frances was a committed animal lover. Her many dogs over the years were a continuous joy of her life.
