Hold tight to his unchanging hand and he will give you peace. I will continue to pray for the family!
So sorry to hear this wanting to let y’all know we are thinking about you guys and are in our prayers
. I was trying to arrange a wellness check because I had not heard from her in about a week. when I learned she was seriously ill in the hospital. We met in the 8th grade and were close at UCA until she married in 1956.
She has been my lifeline to my hometown and our school friends.
The UCA homecoming in 2016 was the last time I saw her. The joy in her life was her family. I will never forget Francille and miss her so much. She was a friend to many and the cement that kept our classmates coming to reunions and NLR 1954 lunches.
RIP, dear friend
We're praying for all of you and know that you will be blessed with peace and comfort.
Keeping family in my prayers and thoughts. Sorry for your loss.
Will miss seeing you at Shepherds Center and our nice chats. God Bless
I had the pleasure of working with Francille while she worked at AEDC. She had a true passion for her job and cared about her projects. We kept in touch after her retirement. She always had something to stay about her family. She loved her shopping trips with Alex and Chris. She also loved her lunches with her former co-workers. She will be missed. My deepest sympathy to her family.
Prayers for the comfort and peace for the family. We only recently reconnected when she contacted me about the 1954 class luncheons. I was so happy to hear from her and enjoyed the short time we were together.
My prayers and sympathy for the family. Worked with her for years at Economic Development and remained friends long after. What a treasure she was! She will be deeply missed. Such a special lady.
I was sorry to hear of her passing. I've run into her at Walmart a few times in the recent past and enjoyed having a few moments to just talk to her. She was a very kind and gentle soul. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of this wonderful woman.
Stephanie and family-so very sorry to hear about your mom. Prayers for peace and sweet memories to sustain you.
Francille had a heart of gold ,Sweet and loving,Francille will be terrible missed by many .Sorry for family's loss.

I first met Francille in the 70's. My brother Lee and Ron were big buddies and, we all got to know each others families and spent great times together. Francille has been a great friend to me the last several years since the passing of my mom. We both loved reminiscing and visiting about our families. She was a bright spot in my life, and I will miss her terribly. I know the days, weeks and months ahead will be difficult. She loved you all dearly, my prayers are with you.
Francille was a wonderful friend who was always positive and encouraging. I had the opportunity to work with her at the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. She loved this state and more importantly loved working with and helping all the communities in our state. RIP my friend. I will miss your uplifting messages terribly.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Francille worked with me at Arkansas Economic Development Commission for many years. She was one of my favorite people, a person who always wanted to do her best, and we were able to accomplish a lot together. Her positive attitude, intelligence, and warmth always made those around her feel special, as she was herself. I spoke to her last year on the phone after the death of another co-worker. I am losing a friend and someone I could always depend on, just like I know her family depended on her, too. I would like to attend her services when you are able to plan them. My deepest sympathy to you all.
Many prayers for comfort and strength during this difficult time for our dear friends Deanna and Doug, and entire family. Thinking of you all!! We know she will be missed.
Mike, My condolences. :'( Cheney

So many sweet memories with Francille as she brought the class of 54 members together for reunions and lunches. She was so instrumental in keeping as many members as she could in touch with each other. Our sympathy and best wishes to all the family as they bid farewell to this kind and gentle soul.
