Frances Elizabeth Henson

Frances born on April 15, 1940 in Porterville, California. On August 19, 2025, Frances passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at her home in Kerman, California. She was 85 years old. Frances spent most of her life living and working in San Joaquin, California, where she raised her three daughters. She enjoyed spending time with her family and trips to Pismo Beach. She especially enjoyed the vacation she took last year to Florida to spend time with her great-grandkids, Adelie and Vance, who lovingly called her "Gigi".

Frances was preceded in death by her husband, Ted and her daughter, Rhonda Rodrigues, and eight of her nine siblings.

She is survived by her daughters, Laurie Ratchford and Pamela Grouleff (Greg); 5 grandchildren, Kimberly, Justin, Gregory, Patrick and Ryan and 7 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister, Dorothy Orlando.

Our family takes great comfort in knowing that she had rededicated her life to the Lord and that she had experienced much joy and peace in knowing that she would have an eternal life in Heaven. We will love and miss her always. Until we can all be together again.

Graveside service will be held at Fresno Memorial Gardens on Saturday, September 6, 2025 at 10:00 a.m.
