Frances Yow Obituary

Publish in a newspaper

Frances Ann "Frankie" (Willard) "Yow" passed away peacefully on October 22, 2025, in Jacksonville, Florida, surrounded by her three children. She was 79 years old.

Born on October 4, 1946, in Columbus, Ohio, Frankie was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose warmth and generosity touched everyone who knew her.

A woman of deep faith, Frankie was a lifelong member of the Catholic Church. She held a steadfast devotion to her beliefs and lived them daily through kindness, service, and humility. She was a staunch believer in giving her time and talents wherever they were needed, always ready to lend a hand or a listening ear.

She is survived by her three children, seven grandchildren, four siblings, and numerous nieces, nephews, and their families who adored her. Frankie will be remembered for her kind heart, joyful spirit, and the love she shared so freely with family and friends.

May she rest in eternal peace in the arms of the Lord.

In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to Community Hospice or St. Vincent de Paul Society.

A visitation will be held at Ponte Vedra Valley on Wednesday, October 29, 2025 from 6-8 PM. A mass will be held at Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church on Thursday, October 30, 2025 at 11 AM, followed immediately by a graveside service at Ponte Vedra Valley.
