Frances Virginia Bayman, 91, of Allen, Texas, passed away peacefully on May 22, 2025. She was born on September 9, 1933, in Fink, Texas, to Harold Victor Jones and Lillian Watson.

Frances was a proud graduate of Denison High School and went on to earn her degree from Texas Woman's University. A woman of many passions, she was an avid runner and tennis player, and found great joy in reading books and magazines throughout her life.

She was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Frances is survived by her children, James Morrison Bayman and wife Miriam Stark, Thomas Crawford Bayman and wife Athena, and Michael Bayman. She was lovingly known as "Mimi" to her grandchildren: Nova Sanchez, Catherine Bayman, Maxwell Bayman, Aleana Bayman "Meimei", and Skylar Bayman. Her legacy continues through her three great-grandchildren: Brenna Bayman, Michael William Bayman, and Olivia Bayman.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, William Morrison (Bill) Bayman; her son, William Harold Bayman; and her parents.

A funeral service honoring Frances's life will be held at 1:00 PM on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at Turrentine-Jackson-Morrow, 401 W Woodard Street, Denison, Texas. She will be laid to rest following the service at Georgetown Cemetery in Pottsboro, Texas.
