Hobbies and Interests
Most will remember that Frances loved entertaining and being entertained. In her hay-day she sang jazz and R&B tunes with her sisters in their Sisters' Social club and brother John's band; they all dressed "to the nines" in custom made gowns. She also was an excellent cook and took every opportunity to help kids in need of emotional support.
What many may not know is that Frances was also a bibliophile, amassing a library of over 300 books ranging in subject matter from Ancient Egyptian Archeology to Science Discoveries to Yoga.
Frances also dabbled in photography and loved to collect old coins and beautiful objects d'arts. She lovingly tended an aquarium until she was overwhelmed by illness in 2011. Frances loved visiting museums, cultural centers/dance academies, and was fascinated with Native American culture, yoga, martial arts, African American History, and classical music. Beethoven was her favorite classical pianist and composer.
Frances got a chance to travel to Grenada, West Indies before battling a decade long illness.
