Frances Parker Obituary
She is survived by her daughter, Brenda Allgood (Bobby); grandchildren, Jason Hickman (Jennie), Jeremy Hickman, Kimberly Beasley, Derrick Hickman (Carrie), and Keith Allgood (Kayla); 17 great grandchildren and 7 great-great grandchildren; sisters, Betty Dill, and Joann Leatherman (Bobby); brother; Russell Dill (Ann); and numerous nieces and nephews.
Frances is preceded in death by her father, James Robert Dill and mother, Inez Jeanette (Murphy) Dill; daughters, Janice Hickman, Peggy Martin; brothers, Steve Dill, Douglas Dill, Larry Dill; and sister, Joyce Wise.
Frances dedicated much of her life to the food industry, working at Sylvan Park Restaurant and Jay's Family Restaurant, among others, until she was 82 years young. Over the years, she proudly held every position imaginable - from management to server and everything in between - always bringing dedication, warmth, and a strong work ethic to each role. She was truly kindhearted, loving her family and friends deeply and never hesitating to help anyone in need. Frances found joy in life's simple pleasures-especially reading a good book and spending quiet hours working on jigsaw puzzles. She cherished her beloved cats, Rudy Poo and Lady Bug, who brought her constant companionship and comfort. She will be missed dearly by them, and by all who knew and loved her.
