Frances Victoria Owens Kellison

She was born November 30, 1925, in Pomeroy, Ohio, to Clarence and Tressa (Hicks) Owens. Frances was a devoted wife and daughter, loving mother, and proud grandmother. She was a well-known seamstress, having made many wedding and bridesmaid dresses, and was quite artistic as well. Her crafts included paints, quilting, crocheting, ceramics, and woodworking. She will be remembered for her singing, yodeling, and dancing. Throughout her life, she maintained an optimism, good humor and tenacity that inspired those around her.

She was a nurse’s aide at Robinson Memorial Hospital, an instructor for Artex paints and also worked at the Woolen Mills and A.C. Williams. Frances volunteered for many years as a Boy Scout Den Mother.
