Frances Thompson

Frances I. Thompson, 93, of Gassaway, WV, passed away peacefully at the Laurels of Norworth nursing home in Columbus, Ohio with her sons, Roscoe W. Thompson and Lonnie G. Thompson, at her side. She was preceded in death by her husband, Roscoe W. Thompson, and her only daughter Regina Thompson.  Frances was born in Progress, WV on April 20th, 1928, and was predeceased by her six siblings. Frances was a very special lady - strong, independent, loving, smart, creative, and thoughtful. Although she had a warm and beautiful heart, she never failed to stand her ground. Frances worked many jobs after her husband passed in 1966 and she was best known as an excellent seamstress and for her 100% hand-made quilts that she loved to gift to family and friends. Frances is survived by her older son, Roscoe W. Thompson, Jr. and his wife Patricia and their children, Roscoe III, Rosemary, and Robert, and by her younger son, Lonnie G., Thompson and his wife Ellen, and their daughter Regina. She also has 12 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. The family will hold a remembrance for Frances at a later date in Gassaway WV.
