She is also survived and fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.

Frances was born in New Orleans, LA and was a longtime resident of St. Bernard Parish before settling in Pearl River, LA. She truly enjoyed life through her simple pleasures, especially sewing. She was a gifted seamstress and was rarely seen without a needle and thread in her hands. She found pleasure in the details of everyday life and caring deeply for others. Her devotion to Elvis was surpassed only by the love for her grandchildren. Frances will always be remembered for her loyalty and dedication to her family, her loving spirit, her laughter, and spoiling the grandchildren. She was a wonderful example of what it means to care for others and will be deeply missed by us all.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a visitation to be held at ST. BERNARD MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME, 701 W. Virtue St., Chalmette, LA on Tuesday, February 2nd from 12:00PM – 2:00PM, followed by a funeral service in Frances’ memory beginning at 2:00PM. She will be laid to eternal rest with her husband Daniel in St. Bernard Memorial Gardens. Due to COVID-19, face masks and social distancing are required.
