Frances enjoyed many years entertaining her friends with numerous encore performances of her organ playing, Karaoke singing, and above all, her lavish dinner parties. When not entertaining, she frequently enjoyed hobnobbing with her friends in the celebrity world. In her earlier years, she was frequently seen with famed entertainers Frank Sinatra, Liberace, and Wayne Newton, among many others. Frances is additionally credited with single handedly saving both her sons, Fred and Tom from a world of crime.Making sure they went to bed at night after finishing their homework, taking a bath, and saying their prayers. BOTH becoming extremely successful in life. A miracle in itself.. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. A private service will be conducted at a later date by the family. Arrangements are being handled by Haverstock Funeral Home in La Porte, with burial in Pine Lake Cemetery.
