Frances was a member of Sacred Heart Church, Moline, Altar and Rosary Society, King's Daughters and Trinity Medical Center Auxiliary, Rock Island, and was a former member of Short Hills County Club. Frances and Clarence were avid travelers who enjoying exploring remote corners of the world. She was a loving wife and aunt who always had time to prepare a special dinner for family gatherings. She was an inspiration and a role model for all she met. She will be deeply missed.
