My heartfelt condolences to Webb and his entire family. I’m glad this flower girl in Frances’ wedding had a chance to reconnect, but regret we didn’t have more time to talk.
It was a delight to know Frances Brown at Freedom Hill Elementary School. She was a good teacher and a good mentor to those who were new. God bless her family.
Hello, Web. Oh, how we loved Frances at Freedom Hill. I had the good fortune of being placed in the room right next door to her and it was a room without walls; Frances and I knew each other’s teaching styles very well! What a dear and what a lovely lady she was. Frances never lost her accent or her sense of humor. I don’t think a smile ever left her face. Please know many people like me will be thinking of you during this time of great sadness and loss. Fondly – Cheryl
Sending prayers and condolences to Web and all of the family members. Frances was a wonderful teacher who through her years at Freedom Hill joyfully passed on a love for learning to her many classes of first graders students.
Dear Web, Paul, David, Martha, & families & grandchildren, Please know how sorry we are for the loss of Frances. She left a legacy with her beautiful hand-written letters to us throughout the years, in which we cherish, along with the photos. I (Debbie) will miss mostly our many “phone visits” we shared over the years. May God give you all comfort and peace throughout the days and weeks ahead. Love & prayers from your cousins.
The most genuine smile of Vienna has left us. Frances was so loved by all of us at Freedom Hill who were privileged to work with her. Hundreds of children benefited from her love of learning and teaching.
Frances was a friend of my mom’s family from childhood. My grandmother picked Frances and John Oscar up for church so seven kids (or more) crammed onto laps to go to Bon Air Methodist Church. Frances was also a lifelong friend of my aunt Margaret Lynch and no one could have been more faithful. My aunt had Alzheimer’s and wasn’t easy to maintain friendship with but Frances sent cards and gifts, called, and remained true to her childhood friend to the end. I emailed Frances a picture of a Valentine she sent Margaret in 1944 and told her not many friends have Valentines and cards spanning all those decades. I have those cards still. In clearing out Margaret’s belongings after her death, I could not bring myself to discard the tangible evidence of a friendship that lasted for over 70 years.
Frances was such a find person and friend. We sang in the choir together and she kept in touch with me thru my various moves. I will surely miss her.
Frances was a cherished member of Christ Lutheran Church for many years. Always smiling and caring for others. We have very fond memories of France’s and Web. You never saw one without the other. A wonderful couple and we will miss her very much.
So sorry to hear of Frances’s passing. I taught with her at Freedom Hill. She always represented my ideal of what a first-grade teacher should be.
Wow, double wow. Frances was in the top five all time most gentle and encouraging of individuals I knew. She was blessed with a ceaseless hope and enjoyment of life and people. Hers was one of the most perfect fits between person and career. She was among the strongest champions for connecting with students and wise teaching practices, and in the years since, a living conduit among all of us who walked different paths post-Freedom Hill. I can’t thank her and Web enough for all they provided me in my formative years as a teacher. ‘Brilliant, shining, loving. Frances Brown, you lifted the world. Gosh, you’ll be remembered forever. — Rick
I remember good times with Frances when we were young. We used to pick up Frances, her grandmother and her brother and take them to church with us. There were 8 of us in a sedan. I remembered going to Frances’s house and listening to a program on the radio. (We did not have TV then). My sympathy to the family, she was a wonderful person and never changed.
Frances and Web have been a wonderful addition to our church seniors group, SWATT, at Vienna Presbyterian Church. Their joy and enthusiasm were such a welcome contribution to our gatherings and programs.Their witness of God’s goodness in times of tragedy was an inspiration to many. Although we will miss Frances and her bright smile,Web, we look forward to your companionship in the future. God bless you and your family, who are in many prayers.
Please accept our sincere condolences. So hard to loose a mother and grandmother, our thoughts are with you.
My family and I send out deepest sympathy to your family. We were neighbors for many years and share many memories. May Frances Rest in Peace and may you find the strength to get through this difficult time. Just know that she was well loved and liked by all who knew her. We share in your loss. Sending our love to her family. Joanne Beeson, Terri, Tim, Todd, Tammy and Tania.
Francis was a very special person, a sweet an generous soul who brought light and enlightenment with all she did. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Family and friends, I know that this is a very difficult time. It’s never easy to lose someone you love but the Bible promises us at John 5:28,29 that you will see Frances again. Until then may your hearts be filled with the wonderful memories of joyful times spent together as you celebrate a life well lived. Please accept my condolences.
