Francis proudly served as flight instructor in the United States Army for many years. She was a woman of little needs and wants and was devoted to making sure her family was taken care of and had everything they wanted and needed and then some. She was a very simple person. When her daughters were younger, she enjoyed going to the softball fields, loved to play board games with them as she has with her grandkids. She loved getting her grandkids during the summer for a little while so she could spoil them by taking them to the pool, movies and the park. When she wasn’t spoiling kids, she enjoyed playing bingo and reading. She had a love for animals, especially horses. She also had a passion for her job but above all, she enjoyed spending time with her grandkids the most.
