Frances Archer Obituary

ARCHER, FRANCES Frances Archer of Santee passed away on March 28, 2008 at the age of 59, of complications from cancer. In her passing, she was surrounded by her family and friends. Frances worked for See's Candy for 32 years. Everyone that met her, loved her. She was beautiful both inside and out. Frances was the best mother a child could ask for. The true meaning of "unselfish", she thought about everyone else before her, even until her last days. She will be deeply and forever missed! WE LOVE YOU, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. May you rest in piece. Frances is survived by her children Kim and Robin, parents Frank and Marguerite, four grandchildren, one sister, and devoted friends. Due to Frances' wishes, we will not have funeral services. Instead, we will Celebrate the Life of Frances at the American Cancer Society, Relay for Life at Santee Lakes on April 19th. We have put together a team, Team Frances, for anyone that would like to join the team or make a donation. Please go to our team website: http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?pg=team&fr_id=6777&team_id=275057

Frances was one of the kindest, strongest people I've ever known. Everyone who ever met her loved her. I don't know why good people die young. I think God must have needed a beautiful angel. I will miss her dearly but I feel blessed that I was her friend.
