She loved doing word finds, reading the news, shopping at Roses and thrift stores, watching Tyler Perry movies and western shows, listening to old music, attending gospel singing services at different churches, collecting angel figurines, and seeing her grandchildren.
Frances was preceded in death by her parents, Alma and George Washington Sr.; four sisters, Joyce Butler, Jacqueline Scesco, Theresa Reid, and Michelle Washington Lee; and one brother Thomas Washington.
Ms. Washington leaves a legacy of love with her daughter Michelle Washington; three grandchildren, Deborah Clayton, Israel Clayton, and Jireh Washington; three brothers, George Washington Jr., Allen Washington (Darlene), and James Washington (Ann); three sisters, Patricia Jones, Sheila Marble, and Linda Roye; one brother-in-law; Flinton Lee, one godson; Sherome Lee; special friend Robert Rodgers; caregiver Marcel Washington; and a host of nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends.

My heart is truly saddened of knowing of your passing. I enjoyed working with you at Eastern State. I mostly enjoyed our long conversations on the phone and in person after we left Eastern talking about our family or stuff in general. You will be greatly and truly missed. Your friend
