Mrs. Frances was born May 8, 1944, in Alabama. She worked for Coats and Clark in Albany where she retired after many years.

She was also known for her love of Gospel and Bluegrass music. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and friend, who will be greatly missed by all.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Mr. Earl Patton; children, Robert Earl Patton and Donna Lynn Patton; and her siblings.

Those left to cherish her memory include her grandchildren, Savanna Patton (Brody Lee) of Albany, Johnathan Luttrell of Albany, Jeffrey Davis (Riane) of Leesburg, Lacey Wiggins of Macon, Taylor Patton of Albany, Kirstie Patton of Leesburg, and Brannon Letchworth of Albany; daughter-in-law, Tracey Patton of Lynn Haven, FL; caregiver, Wanda Owens and her husband Chris of Sparks; and a host of great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and extended family.
