MARICOPA, ARIZONA – Frances Delora Hash, 98, formerly of Oolitic, passed away November 6, 2023 at Anne's Assisted Living in Maricopa, Arizona.

Her parents; husbands; daughter, Carolyn Elrod Mann; a great-grandchild; and siblings, Carl Cooper, Helen Cooper, Lois York, Mildred Henley, Dale Cooper, Sue Lewis, Betty Lou Cooper, Jerry Cooper, Jack Cooper, and Norman Dean Cooper, preceded her in death.
