______________________________________
The following obituary was read by Chaplain Gwynne May (The Denver Hospice) during the celebration of life for Frances:
"I have been blessed in my life with knowing God and having family and friends that were my strength and gave me happiness. I was born in Osceola, Missouri on May 16th, 1924 to Icy Ann and Frank Lee. My childhood was spent in Topeka and Lawrence, Kansas with my brothers, Roy Edward and Billy Lee. During my childhood, I sang on stage and on the radio. There were many recess baseball games at school that I pitched and won. My brother Billy and I would dance and always win the contests. My career was in the manufacturing business working at Stokleys, Coors and Samsonite.
My family was my proudest accomplishment and legacy with four children, Delores (Donald-husband), Raymond (Julie-wife), Donna and Starla; eight grandchildren, Shelly, Debbie, Ray Jr., Donette, Frankie, Connie, Brandie and Shon, I have fifteen great-grandchildren and 11 great-great grandchildren. My late husband, Lawrence, was a Reverend at Gospel Tabernacle and owned and operated a concrete business. My family worked in the concrete business from Kansas to Idaho to Nevada, Wyoming and Colorado.
Traveling was one of my favorite past times from being on trains, cars, ships and airplanes all over the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and the Caribbean. During my travels, I've seen windmills in Holland, kissed Don Ho in Hawaii, went to Churchill Downs in Kentucky and won many jackpots in Las Vegas.
There have been tough times in my life but, "Life is fragile and should always be handled with prayer".
It was my embroidery skills that reminded me about the importance of the precious moments in life. My other enjoyments included crafts, ceramics, reading 'True Story' magazines and American Indian romance novels. On the weekends, it was exciting going to or having garage sales, camping and watching nature, playing cards, games or bingo and cheering for my favorite teams, the Denver Broncos and Colorado Rockies.
To my family and Sunshine, my cat, "I love you with all my heart"!

Mom's BEAUTIFUL permanent marker was placed on 12-11-15. Dee and Star finally decided and agreed on the style and color, which took about four months to make and ship from California. At least Mom was able to get her marker placed by Christmas, 2015.
Her Beautiful bronze and black faced marker READS: "OUR PRECIOUS LITTLE MOM" and has a Hummingbird feeding on Lilacs, (Mom's favorite flower).
We love you our Precious Little MOM!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We thought of you with love today,
but that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday
and days before that too.
We think of you in silence
and always speak your name.
but now we treasure our memories
like pictures in a frame.
Your life is now a keepsake
with which we'll never part.
God with you in His keeping;
us with you in our hearts.
