Frances (Nellans) Minks

Frances was born to Andrew "Jack" and Lucy Nellans, and was raised on a farm in Peabody, Kansas. She was as sweet as they come, except when engaged in a hand of bridge, or later in life, a round of dominoes. She had many dear friends over the years and kept in close contact with them.

She met her husband, Darrell, when she worked as a secretary at Boeing. They were soon married and were blessed with three sons. She blossomed into a dedicated wife and mother and always made sure that her house was made a home. She had a nurturing, gentle soul, and was the best mom a son could ask for.

Frances is preceded in death by her husband, Darrell; sons, Kent and Kevin; and brothers, Glenn (Erma) and Tom Nellans. She is survived by son, Darren (Amy) Minks; grandchildren, Arick (Carolyn) Minks, Andrew Minks, Brian Minks, Daniel (Ashleigh) Minks, Kacy (Trevor) Bolm, and Nathan Minks; great-grandson, Jacob Minks; daughter-in-law, Carla Minks, sister-in-law, Marie Minks, and many nieces and nephews.

Her funeral service will be held at Resthaven Mortuary, 1 p.m. Monday, Dec. 17, 2018. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Homestead Health Center. View the full obituary at www.resthavenmortuary-cemetery.com.
