Frances had many roles in life , none more important to her than raising her 3 daughters, which was probably a result of her dedication to her own mother.  Later in life her greatest passion was her fur babies.   One thing she prided herself on was spoiling her grandkids, always quick to come their defense when needed . She was known as hard worker who was loved dearly by all that she helped.  She  was a dedicated member of Sauls Valley Baptist Church with many years of service as the church treasurer. Frances had a big heart and always made time to help those in need ... both humans and animals.

She was preceded in death by the love of her life husband, Toye Dykes; father, Needom Roberts; mother, Ruby Dunaway Roberts; brothers, Tombo Rushing, Frank Roberts, Paul Roberts, Norman "Cowboy" Roberts and Bennie Roberts; sisters, Doris Nations, Grace Hutchinson and Shirley Hearn.

Survivors include her daughters, Jeanenne Mullins, Penny Mullins Bochicchio (Dave), and Pattie Mullins Neal (JD); her twin brother, Tommie Roberts; grandchildren, Vanessa Tullis, Chelsea Williams and Hannah Caul and Brandi Neal; great grandchildren, Caroline Watts and Knox Armstrong.
