Frances was my first supervisor when I became a service rep at Turner Rd. What a sweet wonderful person she was. I have thought of her often and will miss her.

To the family of Frances,
I worked with Frances many years ago at Turner Rd. I will never forget she was observing on me one day and she came out after the call was over and told me that I had said "ok" 27 times during the one conversation. It made a lasting impression cause now I hardly ever say ok. She was a wonderful lady and will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Francis. She was my supervisor and good friend for many years. May God Bless her and her family.

May God comfort and bless the family and friends of Frances. It's heartwarming to know she lived such a wonderful life after her retirement from C&P Telephone. I worked with her at C&P many years ago when she was a supervisor in the business office at Turner Rd and I was a service rep. She was a kind, gentle lady of grace, always so helpful. I liked and respected her greatly.
