Frances Eloshway Obituary

Frances J. Eloshway, 81, of Washington, passed away peacefully in her daughter's home on Wednesday, September 17, 2025. Born on August 20, 1944, she was a daughter of the late Mary and Robert Moody. Frances was the loving mother of Charles (Niki) Eloshway and Kristen (Jimi Diamond) Eloshway; cherished grandmother of Lexi, Sophia, Bobby, and Luke; and dear sister of William Moody and wife Porky, who was also Frances's best friend, and the late Robert Moody and Rosemary Moody Zanol. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews. In her younger years, Frances enjoyed playing softball and fishing, and she was always up for a good shopping trip. She was employed for many years with International Paper. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Suncrest Hospice-Jen, Heather, Leslie, and Kurt-as well as her special caregivers Sarah, Robyn, and Savannah, for their kindness and care. All services will be private.
