Frances always had the most beautiful smile in the room. She was a stickler for good grammar and a firm believer in always choosing the right. She was optimistic and nonjudgmental. She loved everyone. For these reasons and many, many more she was an example of goodness for her family and friends. Her entire life was about hard work. She supported her children and grandchildren in tough times without complaint. She loved her Heavenly Father and all of His children. At age 75 she served a year mission in Tacoma, Washington. She loved serving and teaching others about Christrsquo;s love for them.
She had a wonderful sense of humor and was always ready for an adventure. She spent countless hours playing games, talking and laughing with her family. As her children got older, they separated in distance. She always found a way to be there for birthdays, baptisms, graduations, weddings, holidays and births of great-grandchildren. She was a teacher until the very end. She loved teaching youth Sunday School and substitute teaching in local schools. She told the best stories and taught the best life lessons.
The people she left behind will always remember to try new foods before deciding they donrsquo;t like them, to never judge someone else before walking in their shoes, to always laugh, to never stop learning and to continue to serve and love their neighbors as Jesus Christ would.
