Frances Kathrine Hauser passed from this Life straight into the arms of Jesus, Thursday Morning May the 25th, surrounded by her Loving Children, at the age of 94 years and 10 months. A Life well Lived filled with Love and Adventure, unfolding into an Amazing Story!!

Francis was born on July the !9th,1928, into the waiting arms of Ray and Mary Davis. She spent an idyllic childhood, Living her own version of what growing up in the Rolling Sandhills should really be like!! A carefree time filled with kittens to be played with and chores to be done, Cousins sprinkled in and a pony to ride for fun!!

Turning a page at the ripe age of six, stepping straight into grade school at district 13.A little Brick School Building just a couple of miles down the road, where she learned her ABC’s with 7 neighbor children. Riding that same pony to school every day!

After graduating Grade School, she stepped straight into a New Adventure as She then moved to the Big Metropolis of Dunning, where she attended High School there, and stayed with her Uncle Ory and Aunt Anna and those sweet cousins of hers during the week and went Home on the weekends! A Fun Filled Time!

Graduating with Honors from Dunning High School, she was already turning a new page in her story.  She had met this Handsome Young Man at a Dance and was already Smitten! They soon became inseparable!  She had found her Love of a Lifetime and it was fated to become a Lifetime of Love!, On Oct. 4th, 1947, Her Story changed a bit. A Promise was sealed with a Kiss, and Now she was in Marriage Bliss! First just a Family of two and then it Grew!! Soon they had a Baby in the Cradle! Not done yet, Glory Be! They soon had nine little sets of feet under the Table!, Their very own Haying crew, all ready and able!!  And the Years were filled with Sunshine and Hard Work! With a few baseball games throwed in!....   And she became a Master of Organization! She had to you see, for God had opened yet another door and she took a job at Forest Reserve where she worked amongst her neighbors and friends for many summers and spent the winters driving the school bus.  

In the Fall of 1999, Her story changed again as she lost that Love of a Lifetime and sadly turned the page to a New Adventure , Moving this Time to The Bustling City  of Broken Bow, where at the ripe age 71, she started a new career in the Clothing Industry, working at  Bow Western Store, finding time to work as a Hospice Volunteer also , earning herself the Hospice volunteer of the Year award!! She also became an Avid Church Worker through St. Joseph Catholic Church, and a member of catholic daughters!

At the ripe age of 75, She turned another page in Her story and followed what She believed to be her “calling” as She began helping The Handicapped, working with Mid-Nebraska until at the ripe age of 84 She turned yet another Page  Stepping straight into RETIREMENT!! Spending time with her family, traveling to different Places, enjoying Life to the FULLEST! Always Remembering to keep a little sand between her toes!! She leaves a Broken Hearted Family, Legacy of Love and Christian Hope!!
