She was born on February 15, 1929, to the late Frank and Elizabeth Byrd Arthur.

Also surviving are two sisters, Ernestine Baugh, Nona Maxine Tucker and a sister-in-law, Estelle Johnson. She was also preceded in death by her brother Donald Arthur. She leaves behind her dear friend, Bernice Sanders. Frances left on her favorite kind of day, sunny and hot. Spending many such days boating or on the beach. An experienced seamstress, she created not only clothing but homegoods. She mended for others until just a few months ago. She will forever be remembered for her lawn full of beautiful flowers, especially her rose garden. She loved her sons and their families with much pride. She was a strong, beautiful lady and a friend to many. Special thanks to Grayson’s Assisted Living, including the caregivers who treated her with kindness. She was a member of Sunshine Free Will Baptist Church and services will be conducted by her Pastor Jody Fortner, on Thursday, July 4, 2019, at 11 a.m., at the Reger Funeral Chapel. Friends may call from 10 a.m., until service time Thursday. Burial will follow in Docks Creek Cemetery, Kenova, WV.
