Frances last attended Mynatt Road Baptist Church in Halls Crossroads community of Knox County. She fought a hard battle with cancer for the last four years, but her battle is now over and she has gone to be with Jesus. We will miss her great big smile, how she always gave her heart to people, and her humorous, witty remarks. Frances dearly loved her family; she loved Jesus and she loved singing.
