Prior to retirement, Frances worked for Connors Bros. in Back Bay where she was employed as a packer for many years and often said "Hard work will never hurt nobody." Frances loved to cook and especially at Christmas time made pies and fruitcakes which everyone looked forward to. She was an animal lover and loved her cats like children and would not go to bed until all her cats were safe. Frances saw the good in everybody and said "everyone has a heart" and was always willing to help those in need. She was a member of the Back Bay Church of Christ where she loved to attend and go to bible study. In her spare time, she loved to travel with Carol Ann to Ottawa to visit her grandson and family.
