Frances was involved in various organizations; she was an active member of the Rotary Club of Conroe, the Lions Club of Conroe and was a member of the Business Women’s Forum.
Her passion was serving her church, First Presbyterian Church of Conroe and did so in numerous ways. From being a part of the Lydia Women’s Circle, playing her part in the handbell choir to serving as an elder of the church numerous times, Frances held service to the church and the lord near to her heart. She also had the honor of being the Chair of the Building Committee for the current home of First Presbyterian Church which is located on Loop 336.
At the end of the day the largest piece of Frances’s heart was her family, especially her grandsons who lovingly called her “Honey”. The family wishes to thank the excellent caregivers at Village Green, especially her Betty and Trisha.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday August 8th, 2020 at 11:00 am, First Presbyterian Church Conroe located at 2727 N. Loop 336 West. A live video stream of the service will be made available. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association or the Forever Fund at First Presbyterian Church in memory of Frances Mitchell.
