Julia Ann Francis

After the Lord welcomed her to Heaven, she was met by her husband, Howard Francis, her grandson, Michael Francis, and her daughter-in-law Qutrenna Francis. She said “See You Soon” to her 4 children; Phil Francis & Judith, Jeff Francis, Mike Francis, and Pam Francis Underwood & Mike.

She spent her life loving her family with all her might. She showed this best by cooking her famous Lasagna, Mac and Cheese, or Christmas Cookies. Her house was a place to feel peace and comfort always. The house was full of laughter and jokes from all of her 10 grandchildren, multitude of great-grandchildren, and even great-great grandchildren. She loved her animals big no matter if they were cats, dogs, or a donkey, but under no circumstance should a caterpillar or reptile be brought inside. She taught everyone what unconditional love was and may we strive to live a little more like her each day. She also taught us to walk someone out and wave, so now we’ll wave and say "See you soon, Granny!"
