Frances worked with the adult handicapped population in Martinsburg for several years. She was a friendly, well-liked, and hard-working person with a servant’s heart who never met a stranger. A lover of books and learning, she graduated after three years of high school as did her daughter and granddaughter. She was very proud of her grandchildren and the fact that they were both hard workers. She liked to remind friends that her grandson was reading fluently at the age of four. He is still an avid reader because Frances read to him constantly and taught him to also become a lover of books.
