I mentioned her in some other threads on deaths in the family that she was on her way out. My mother just called and told me of her passing on Saturday and that my uncle Lewis is propably next. His 1 lung is having problems.
Here is her obituary, look at how many grand kids she left, loads. She had about 11 kids. Her husband Raymond that it mentions died back when I was a kid ( abt 8 I guess), I remember them having a hospital bed in the house for him. Her sister Barbra Epps is my grandmother. My mother still says may grandmother is hanging in there, still dealing with loosing my grandfather in Dec, her sister n law 2 weeks ago and now her sister. I last saw my Great Aunt Frances at my wedding in 2000. Below is a pic from my wedding. She's the little old lady at the bottom and that's my grandfathers back getting a picture of us cutting the cake. We have more but I'll have to look for them. She and my mothers brother were playing with the disposable cameras and took tons of pictures of oneanother.lol
We used to go to my aunt house lots when I was a kid. This little old lady was spirited and used to love Beavis and Butthead, she was a load of laughs and a potty mouth too. She will be greatly missed.
