Frances believed in education and commitment, friends and giving your best. She was an educated woman, earning degrees from Woodbury College in Los Angles and a four-year degree from BYU in Utah.
In the 1960s she and Roy with dedication and determination, worked long hours to build a Shaklee business that would support their families and take Roy and Frances traveling around the world. When they often visited San Francisco, they would stay at the Mark Hopkins Hotel on Knob Hill where, as a child, she had dreamed of staying.
She and Roy would often say, “It all starts with a dream.” “Believe in Miracles.” “By helping others, we help ourselves.” Frances loved working with people and educating them on the benefits of good nutrition. She loved her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
A loving thanks to Holly, Glen and Makinleigh for their love, dedication and care for Mom.
