She was of the Baptist faith and attended several churches over the years until her health declined, the most recent being New Beginnings Assembly. Frances was a CNA and cared for countless patients over the years.

The family would like to thank her nurse, Sarah Johns, her CNA, Angie Reed and the UT Hospice staff.

Just now realized who this person is. She was always so nice and funny! Her mother (Maggie) was
a caregiver for my grandmother (Cora Skelton). Rest In Peace! With Love, Judy Slagle
