She is survived by her four children, daughter Beverley of Kamsack, SK, and sons Donald of Surrey, Cameron (Ramona) and Raymond of Victoria, granddaughter Danu of Surrey and grandsons Matthew of Wainwright, AB and Matthew of Gagetown, NB, two great-grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and friends.
She was predeceased by her parents, pioneers of Blucher Hall, Cap (Donald) and Hettie Fraser, brothers Bert and George Ash during WWII and sisters Anne Louvros, Margaret Heron and Helen Woodward.
Frances was educated in Blucher Hall, Squam Bay, Kamloops and Langley. She joined the RCAF during the Korean War and was stationed in Eastern Canada, Whitehorse and Sea Island where she married in 1954. The family moved to Trenton, Ontario in 1962.
Returning to Kamloops in 1969 with her four children, they settled in Brocklehurst. While employed full-time in various positions as a bookkeeper and office manager, she was also a very active volunteer with softball, Cubs, Air Cadets, Fifth Wheelers, Salvation Army, Red Nose and ESS. She loved dancing, but her greatest passion was her gardens. Even in her final spring, she planted veggies and flowers in her beds at Glenfair.
