Frances Joyce enjoyed her exercise class, the “Silver Sneakers” 5 days per weeks for 13 years until September 2018. She enjoyed dancing and listening to music. She also loved watching the “Rays” on TV. Even more, she loved to eat. She was a small woman with a large appetite until the very end.
She wasn’t a traveler. She never cruised or flew. She preferred her feet on the ground. And close to home.
She was a strong, independent woman. She raised 3 children, mostly on her own, and taught them good values and good work ethics.
Frances Joyce was strong and proud to the very end. She loved and was dearly loved.
God’s speed, Mom!
