Miss Frances was a kind and gentle woman. She was so willing to share her time and talents. Didn't she make the most amazing things. I remember quilts that she made out of ties for her family. She also fried the most delicious fired pies.
With care,

Frances Mays was one of the most kind and considerate people I have ever met. She lived her faith every minute of every day. She was an example to us all of how we should llive our lives and treat others!

To the Mays Family,
I wish to express my deepest condolences on the loss of such a wonderful, godly woman. Frances was an inspiration to all with her energy & zest for life.
My Mom called her the Roadrunner because she was always on the go bringing food and a comforting word to those in need. She will be missed.

We were so sorry to learn of Frances'passing. We moved from Woodridge in Nov. She was our neighbor for about 13 years. She was truly everything that was said about her in her death notice. She brought me food when I was sick, took care of the flowers at the entrance to our townhomes, etc. She will be missed. Shelly and Corrine Richardson.
