She continued her love of RV camping and served as President of the Indy Sam's Chapter 14 RV Club, well into her eighties. She set a wonderful example for family and friends on how to live life to the fullest.

We in the HAC Club always enjoyed times spent with Frances years ago. She was an amazing lady and loved the old cars. We wish her peace.
