Frances worked as an office manager and accountant. She worked for Outboard Marine, Inc., Ferrel Gas, Whitkare Cable, Pittsburgh Corning and the Humane Society. When Frances was no longer able to work, she volunteered her time at a food pantry in Liberty, Mo.
Frances leaves to cherish her memory two sons, Travis (Samantha) of Kansas City, Mo., and Clifford (Carrie) of Overland Park, Kans.; two siblings, Dorothy Reece of Excelsior Springs, Mo., and Joe Garner of Las Vegas, Nev.; five grandchildren, Sloane, Carter, Tristan, Korinn, and Brooklyn; and many adoring nephews, nieces, cousins and friends. And a special, lifelong friend, Kay Beth Finley.
