Obituary for Frances Mathews
Frances Mathews, 95, and beloved wife of the late George for 69 years, passed away on Sunday, May 30, 2021.
Fran grew up in the Detroit area, spending time in Garden City, Michigan as well as Taylor, Michigan later in life. She married the love of her life, George Mathews on April 13, 1946. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She enjoyed her time playing cards, cooking, canning, making jelly, and crocheting baby clothes for all in her family.
After George retired, the two of them spent most of their retirement years up north near Higgins Lake, where she was active in the church at both St. Hubert’s Catholic Church and St. Michael’s Catholic Church. She will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to cross her path.

Cherished grandmother of Christopher Mathews (Amber), Stephanie Hale, Lori McMillan (Scott), Daniel Mathews (the late Peggy), Andrea Roberts, Donna Baker, and Sandy Baker. Proud great-grandmother of many great-grandchildren.
