Frances married Roy S. Elmore on March 11, 1948 and the couple had two children together, including William J. Elmore, who died in infancy. She will always be remembered by her family as a devoted wife and loving mother.

Frances was an active person who enjoyed being outdoors whether in work or in play. She enjoyed working with her hands in creating and working on family projects.  She enjoyed music and recreating with friends and relatives. She had a unique sense of humor, not always present among strangers, but once she become acquainted her personality shined like the Sun.

The family has scheduled a celebration of her life Thursday May 17, 2018 at 12 noon at Lakeside cemetery where her remains will be placed next to her husband, Roy. The family would like to thank all family and friends for their kindness and well wishes.
