Together they farmed and raised their family in Stonewall, finally retiring in 1974. Mom had many interests and hobbies. She spent endless hours gardening, bowling, cake decorating, baking, travelling, ceramics, crafts and enjoying card games. She was a member of the Stonewall branch of Rebeccas and Odd Fellows.

We were sad to hear of Frances's death. She was a fine and caring person. I have happy memories of a visit that my father (Dave), sister (Helen) and I had with Frances and Avery in 1976; they were wonderful hosts. We send our heartfelt sympathy to her family. - Posted by: John, Laurie and Ruthie Blackwell, Antigonish, Nova Scotia (cousins) on: Nov 18, 2013

It was a true honor to have known such a beautiful women, she was one of the strongest, most caring people I have ever had the pleasure to have been able to spend time with... She taught me a great many things, one of the moments I cherish most is her sharing her pineapple jelly recipe and taking the time to show me how to make it... The other amazing thing she showed me was no matter what is going on in your own life and the battles you face, she always took the time to worry and look after others... She will be missed very much, but she will live on in the memory of those of us that had the honor to have spent even a moment of time with her... My heart and prayers go out to her family... - Posted by: Cassandra Enns-Bullied (Bowling Friend ) on: Nov 08, 2013
