After high school working in factories during wartime, she was a genuine “Rosie the Riveter.” She married James Standrod, and they had one child together and later divorced.

She enjoyed camping, fishing, bowling, and supporting her children in many sports, activities, and Booster Clubs. Frances, her sisters, and their husbands were actively involved in the CB Club and Bowling Leagues. As grandchildren entered her life, she found much joy going to their sporting events and activities. Her church family was an important part of her life. Even as her sight left her, she found much joy putting bibles together for missionaries. Frances always wondered when she got to heaven how many souls were touched by the bibles she put together. She was a woman with a heart of gold, and she without a doubt has touched many souls throughout her life.
