She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Cora Harrison and two siblings, Marvin Harrison and Margarete Davis. She was also preceded in death by her husband of 51 years, James V. “Buddy” Wooten, Sr.

After 26 years of service, Frances retired as administrative assistant from El Dorado Foundry Machine and Supply Company.
