Frances Amelia Anderson

Frances was the third born of six girls to Raymond (Amelia) Bailey of Virginia. She attended Falls Church High School and was a star basketball player. She held numerous jobs; model, switchboard operator, drug store employee, hostess, devoted wife, loving mother and homemaker.

Frances faced many health challenges, but she bravely carried on. Often you would find her reading an old hymnal book, Bible or "In Touch" magazine. She enjoyed dancing, cooking, floral design, and sunbathing at the beach. She was beautiful, funny, and loving, the centerpiece of our family.

She is predeceased by her parents, Raymond (Amelia) Bailey; sons, Gary Alley and William Anderson; sisters Helen Terry, Ella Hickerson, Mary Lee Bryan, Betty Goode, and Charlotte Toler.

Frances is survived by her husband of 62 years Billy Anderson; daughters, Deborah Barfield (Tracy) and Ferell Anderson; grandsons Jason Smith (Shelley) and Branden Bruton (Maigan); great grandchildren Colton, Kinsley Smith, Porter, Carter Bruton, and many relatives.

A visitation gathering for Frances will be held Wednesday, July 19, 2023 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM at Life Event Center at Florida Memorial, 5950 South US Highway 1, Rockledge, Florida, followed by a celebration of life at 2:00 PM.
