Frances was a talented person who was a licensed beautician in Louisiana, a grocer, owned her own laundromat in Queen City, and an incredible seamstress. She taught herself to upholster furniture and became quite accomplished at that, as well as doing clothing alterations for the public. She overcame every obstacle she ever encountered before she broke her hip. She studied her Bible every day, reading from cover to cover many times, even when a magnifying glass became necessary.
