Frances was born on Monday, February 19th, 1945, in Hartford, Alabama to Lester and Johnnie Gibson. She attended school in Hartford, Alabama and Umatilla, Florida. She married the love of her life, Roger Glover, on October 17th, 1960. They were married 48 years. Frances worked various jobs over her years: Bud Cigar, for many years as receptionist/manager at Kutt Above Hair Salon and cleaned the homes of a few special families. She enjoyed volunteering at the historical museum in Hartford. Frances loved to craft and make things, from sewing, macrame, painting and more. Nana, as she was affectionately called by her grandchildren, made holidays special with her candies and cakes. She welcomed all and loved deeply. Frances was very proud and dedicated to her large family and very much enjoyed spending time with them. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy! She is also the very reason her immediate family are “Dye Hard Auburn Fans”. WAR EAGLE!
