Frances Peters was a loving wife, grandmother, and friend to anyone in need. She was a servant to anyone that needed a hand; whether it was loss of health, job, or hope. Stories from those that knew her best spoke of the groceries that were given to homes with empty cupboards, sheets, pots, and garden vegetables. If she had it and anyone was in need, it was theirs.
The family would like to thank the staff of Harbert Hills Nursing Home for their wonderful care and family support.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be given to St. Michael’s Loaves and Fishes, the Juvenile Diabetes Association or Harbert Hills Academy.
