Frances G. Glasscock, passed away from this life on September 3, 2010 at the age of 87. Born in Leesville, Missouri, her early life was spent in Clinton, Missouri where she met and in 1944 married her husband, William R. Glasscock, now deceased.

Frances moved to Manhattan, Kansas with her husband and two sons in 1957. As those who knew her can attest, Frances was a generous soul who embraced each friend as though a member of her family. Her caring nature was expressed early, when at the age of eight years, she became the caregiver for an invalid mother, a six year old brother and a six month old baby brother, as well as the sole homemaker for her father and family. From that age until her passing this week, she was the underpinning strength and uncompromising moral guide for now five generations of her family. Her true purpose in life was to nurture a charitable and deeply loving family. In this, no person ever succeded so surely as did she.

Frances is survived by her two sons, Terry of Lexington, Mass, and Kent of Manhattan, Kansas, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. And by the grace of her loving presence throughout their lives, her ideals will continue to guide her family for generations to come.

Frances requested only a simple family visitation for those who knew her. This will be held from 4:30-6:30 p.m. on Monday, September 6, 2010 at the Yorgensen-Meloan-Londeen Funeral Home, Manhattan, Kansas. Private family graveside services will be held at Englewood Cemetery, Clinton, Missouri under the direction of Vansant-Mills Funeral Home.
