Frances was devoted to her Catholic faith and family and will be remembered as a prayer warrior and someone who was always ready to help in any way she could. We will miss all the great stories she told of her life and experiences. She loved to read, sing her Mexican, Country/Western, early rock, and pop songs. She was always cleaning, cooking (everyone loved her cooking especially her tortillas and New Mexico sopaipillas) and work on her family genealogy, roots and legacy from the early 1700's beginning in what is now the state of New Mexico. We love you MOM!
