Frances was preceded in death by her husband of 38 years, Raymond, and their son Robert.
Frances and her husband owned Batta's General Store and Tavern in St. Leon. Raymond developed the infamous fried chicken recipe at the Tavern that was passed down and probably is still used today. Frances was President of Daughters of Isabella, Treasurer of the Town Board of St. Leon, and an office holder in the National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW). She loved spending time playing cards and always looked forward to the monthly cousins' luncheon.
