Frances always said she took one look at Lowell and said “she was going to date that boy and she might even marry him.” They were married by Lowell’s uncle Charles Davis in 1949 in Viola, Arkansas. They moved to Peoria, Illinois but after the birth of James, moved to Cashmere, WA in 1952. Frances worked packing apples and taking care of her growing family.

As the children grew up Frances began working for Highland House Convalescent Center in Chelan, WA. She was an active member of the First Baptist Church in Chelan. Frances and Lowell invited friends, ministers and missionaries into their home to share their warmth roof and fabulous meals. Ask anyone who sat at their table, who made the best fried-chicken. In 1973 they moved to Lake Stevens, WA, but missed Eastern Washington so much they returned, eventually settling in Wenatchee in 1974.Frances worked for Wenatchee Valley Hospital until her retirement. Frances belonged to Calvary Crossroads Baptist Church and most recently Bethel Baptist Church in East Wenatchee.
