Frances B Hackert

Frances Hackert, an ageless beauty, went home to the Lord on February 21, 2026. Frances was a woman whose grace and warmth touched everyone fortunate enough to know her. She was generous in heart and endlessly devoted to the people she loved.

Frances found joy in life's simple pleasures: hot coffee, grits for breakfast, hopping in her car to go to the mall, and visiting family and friends. She loved the holidays, especially Christmas and Halloween. Frances was an amazing cook and loved being surrounded by family every chance she had.

She was a thoughtful, generous, and loving sister to Rose Marie (Vaden) and a devoted sister-in-law to Belinda Boromei. As an aunt, she poured her heart into her nieces and nephews- Derek, Melissa, Nick, and Tony- and extended that same love to her great-nieces and great-nephews: Annamarie, Anthony Jr., Cash, Harlow, Jessie, Isabel, and Neyland.

Frances is preceded in death by her husband Bill, her beloved sister Elvira, and her brother Nick, whose memories she held close throughout her life.

Her absence leaves a space that cannot be filled, but her legacy-one of kindness, generosity, and deep, enduring love-will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her. Frances will be missed more than words can express, and remembered with gratitude for the beauty she brought into the world simply by being herself.
