"Nana" dedicated her life to helping others and was a testament to selflessness.

She had a green thumb and found solace in gardening, loved the Clemson Tigers, and found joy in watching golf with her late husband.  

Frances was married to Ernest E. McGraw for 51 wonderful years. Their relationship served as an inspiration to all who knew them. They were members of El Bethel United Methodist Church for over 63 years.
