Frances was born on June 12, 1948 to Antone and Alice Faria in Turlock, CA.  She attended Chowchilla High School.  Frances was a loving wife, mother and grandmother.  She never knew a stranger and everyone loved her.  For the majority of her working career she was a grocery clerk, but being raised on a dairy her first love was cattle.  There always seemed to be a few head of horses and cattle on the ranch.

Frances lived on the family Hopeton Ranch for 42 years where she made many meals, shared friendships and love to all, and loved hosting Easter with family and extended family.  She also loved the outdoors, whether it was riding horses, fishing the Sierra Streams or her yearly hunting trips to Colorado.  She enjoyed life to the fullest.
