Frances June James

Frances grew up during the depression in Kensington. She was the oldest child of Raymond and Frances Hildenbrand Beyerle’s nine children. A lifelong resident of Philadelphia, she lived in Bustleton and spent most of her life in Somerton.

Frances had always dreamed of becoming a nurse. However, she spent most of her early career working as a bookkeeper. She made up her mind to go back to school as an adult and graduated from St. Mary’s Nursing School in Philadelphia. She worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) at Holy Redeemer Hospital in Meadowbrook for ten years prior to her retirement.

Frances enjoyed crocheting and sewing. She found enjoyment and relaxation in making personal items for her family.
