Frances, known to everyone as Sis, was a layout operator at Western Electric for 20 years. Sis loved to sew and share her creations with others. Multiple animal shelters and nursing homes benefited from her talent and generosity. In addition to making and donating pet beds and walker bags, Sis collected and donated many items to people in need through her church.

Sis lived a full life and had the opportunity to travel all over the world with her husband. She made friends everywhere she went, whether it was the airport, a restaurant, or a line at the grocery store. Sis struck up conversations with every person she encountered in her day to day life, and her outgoing personality and feisty wit drew people in naturally.

Sis touched many lives, and she undoubtedly made the world a better place.
