Frances Haynes Obituary
“The time has come for my departure.
I have fought the good fight.
I have finished the race.
I have kept the faith.”
Frances Grubb Haynes, born February 5, 1944, now lays claim to the crown of righteousness. She will be missed by friends and family and her light will shine brightly to all who knew her.
A memorial service will be held Thursday, January 19, 2023, at 2:00 PM at Rich Fork Baptist Church, with Rev. Michael Bowers officiating. The family will receive friends at the church from 1:00 – 2:00 PM prior to the service.
Frances is survived by her loving husband of 60 years, Steve; two sons, Grant (Lynette), and Dion (Leslye), five grandchildren, Amanda (Joe), Amber (Tracie), Ivey (Derrick), Tori (Evan), and Shelby Reaves; three great-grandchildren, Timmy, Ayden, and Lily; two brothers, Steve Grubb and Terry Grubb, one sister, Diane Reeves (Larry), and numerous cousins.

Sending prayers and condolences to the Haynes family. Francis and Steve were my youth counselors way back in the mid 70's and I thought so much of them. I was blessed to have had them in my life at that time.
