As the only girl, Frances was a tom-boy through and through. She loved to play ball and rough house with the boys. She married Robert “Bob” Batt on November 22, 1957. They lived in the Chatfield and Spring Valley area before moving to Rochelle, IL in 1966.

Frances loved doing for others. She was the glue that held the family and friends together. She loved spending time with her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids. Frances loved gardening, hanging clothes outside, garage saleing, and cooking strange things for her family. Frances would give her last dollar to anyone who needed money.

She is survived by her children, Alice (Doug) Stomberg of Rochester, Darla (Lawrence) Wright of Eyota, Edward Batt of Franklin Grove, IL, Susan Batt of Rochester, and Donna (Sam) South of  Detroit, AL.
