She was a devoted wife and mother. She was a long time member of Warsaw Baptist Church.
A great joy and comfort in her life was living on the river where she greatly enjoyed its beauty and changes, as well as the rising of the sun and moon over the water.
For about 30 years, Frances worked in fashion at Learner’s in Richmond and finishing her career at J.T. Harris in Tappahannock. A highlight in her life was the trip she made with her friend Celie Wyman and sister Alice Haynie. She also enjoyed watching the squirrels and birds of all kinds that come in her yard. She fed them every day. She also loved reading. Her collection of books numbered about 150.
