Frances loved growing up in a large family, being the eighth of 11 children and the daughter born in the middle of six sons. She was a loving daughter to her parents, Luther and Lydia Nugent, both of whom was Sheriffs of Grant Parish, but was especially devoted to her mother who was widowed when Frances was just 9 years old.
She had a great love of sewing and proudly used those skills for family, friends and neighbors. Frances was also well-known for her pound cakes that she shared by the dozens with family and friends ranging from her doctors to her car repairmen.
Honorary pallbearers are Richard Petrus, Justin Petrus, Alex Kennedy, Scott Grabener, Danny Nelson, Q. A. Hargis III, Donald Lafleur, Richard Reding, Joseph Reding and Nick Townsend.
