In Loving Memory of

FRANCES ELLEN WILLIAMS (KUNZ)

Frances Ellen Williams passed away November 12th after a short battle with cancer. She was born March 23, 1947 to Ernest Bill Williams and Esta Marie Anthony in Leadville, Colorado. She was the oldest of seven children and had two older half sisters.

In her twenties she moved to Spokane and began studying the Bible. Frances was baptized June 28th, 1974 in Moscow, Washington.

She spent 51 years faithfully serving Jehovah. In 1975 she met and married Ramon Kunz and was blessed with two daughters, Chantil and Serena. Some of Frances' greatest joys in life were her two grandchildren, JJ and Lilly.

She loved being outdoors, especially collecting mushrooms and pinecones with her sisters as well as camping with her family and friends. Frances loved all of Jehovah's creation, and had a particular affinity for owls, bears and all plants. She found solace in the woods and was always up for an adventure with plenty of laughter and fun.

She will be dearly missed by both of her daughters as well as her grandchildren and her large spiritual family.
