She married her high school sweetheart Wallace Eugene More Jr. They later relocated to Flint, Michigan. Upon their arrival they had hopes and dreams of making a better life, with the grace of God they were able to extend helping hands to many families and friends in relocating to Flint. Hence, from their union 3 beautiful, dedicated, and successful children were born. Frances was a homemaker until her youngest child was old enough to attend school; being a strong advocate of education she began a career as a teacher’s assistant with the Flint Board of Education at Martin elementary school and retired in 1995. Frances loved to read thus putting great emphasis on reading to her children, grandchildren, along with her nieces, nephews, and all that she met.
Some of her many attributes were cooking, especially baking. She loved great tasting food, shopping and was known for her fashion statements with red being her favorite color. Frances enjoyed listening to inspirational and gospel music. She confessed Christ at an early age she was a faithful member of Metropolitan Baptist Church where she was a dedicated member until her health started failing her.
She leaves to cherish sweet memories 3 devoted children, Dora (Lester) Morse-Robinson, of Lorton, Virginia, Wallette Morse-Williams, and Gary Morse of Flint; grandchildren, Lester L. (Melissa) Robinson, II of Alexandria, Virginia, and Brooke N.
