Notes:

Frances Bones, beloved mother of daughter Christine Elizabeth Fisher and sons James Ritchard, Thomas Eugene, and John David, died on September 13, 2014 at the age of 90.

Frances was well known and hugely popular with young and old alike in her community of Olney, Illinois and before that in Clay City, Illinois. From early on in her long life, Frances will be remembered as having dedicated countless hours to numerous and varied community organizations, most notably the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in Richland County, where she garnered the highest dollar sponsorship for several years.

A long-time cancer survivor, Frances served as a volunteer coordinator for the American Cancer Association, the Blood Mobile and at Richland Memorial Hospital. A gifted gardener, Frances grew beautiful flowers, especially roses, and regularly brought bouquets to hospital patients.

She was always an excellent sportswoman--a fine bowler and an avid lifelong golfer--she made her first hole-in-one at the amazing age of 87. She was also a darn good bridge player, not to mention a strong and vocal supporter of her children’s and grandchildren’s various sports activities.

An active member of the First United Methodist Church, Frances held the position of Church Secretary for almost twenty years. In 2003, she was selected Olney’s Woman of the Year. Despite all of her professional and sports accolades, Frances’ continued dedication to her family, her friends and her faith earned her the greatest gift of all—the respect and love of a great many members of her community.

Frances Bones married the love of her life, John D. Bones II, on August 21, 1946 in Hopkinsville, KY. John died August 24, 1981. She always maintained she did not remarry because no one she met ever matched up to him.

Frances is survived by daughter, Christine Fisher and husband Ken of Olney, IL; son James and wife Janet of Plymouth, MN; son Thomas and wife Jennifer of Punta Gorda FL; son John and wife Helen of Punta Gorda FL; grandchildren Megan Bones, Shantel Bones, Tavis Bones, Brandon Lindenbusch, Sara Lindenbusch, Samantha Lindenbusch, Dawn Williams, Cody Fisher, Kendra Fisher, Kyle Fisher, Emma Bones, John D. Bones IV and Margaret Bones; great-grandchildren Lyra Plummer, Zuzu Plummer, Isla Bones, Crew Bones, Landin Lindenbusch, Cierra Chavez, Caden LeClair, Jax LeClair, Kodie Williams, Brittany Williams, Tiffany Williams, Kennedy Williams, a new great-granddaughter expected in October and several nieces and nephews.

Frances is preceded in death by parents, Eugene Dickson Stanford and Ella nee Blackledge; husband John D. Bones II; brothers Harold, Carrol, Frank and Bill Stanford; sisters Imogene Winchester, Mildred Welch and Lucille Pickering.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday, 10:00 a.m. at First United Methodist Church, with visitation Tuesday, 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. at Summers-Kistler Funeral Home. Burial will be in Clay City Cemetery.
