Frances L Challender's Obituary
On June 19 2015, our dear Francis L Challender left us to join her beloved husband Walter. Together hand in hand they are walking in sunshine. Frances is survived by her children Fannie (Bill), MerriJean (Ro), Linda (Rick), George (Tammy), Carol, her 4 wonderful sisters, 3 groovy brothers, 12 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, 1 great- great-grandchild and so many caring, loving friends.
Nicknamed Calamity Jane, this sharp shootin’ gal loved to crotchet blankets for everyone and special dolls. Her favorite place to hangout was the casino we she and sidekick Roberta would fight those one-armed bandits until they would cough up the cash.
Her adventures were many and there was always a story. Frances was a worthy matron of The Vida Chapter of the Eastern Star. Frances loved her family and friends and will be in our hearts with love always.
May we all cherish the memories and never forget the love she shared with us.
