She was born on Dec. 15, 1915,
to Jim and Mary (Bares) Thill on the
family farm five miles east of Golva,
during the worst blizzard of the year.
She was the sixth of the 11 Thill
children and was called "Honey" by
her brothers and sisters. She told sto-
ries of hauling coal for the stove,
washing clothes on the scrub board,
and using kerosene to light the :
house. She also told of when she and
her brother hid in a haystack to avoid
getting a haircut from their older sis-
ter because Barbara would some-
times cut them. And how the kids
laughed when the workhorse their
dad was riding bareback stopped
quickly and their dad flew over the
horse's head.
She graduated from Beach High
School in 1934 and was proud to be
the first one of her family to graduate
from high school.
Frances met Frank Kress at a
baseball game, and he proposed

Frances enjoyed reading, solving
crossword puzzles, putting together
jigsaw puzzles, making quilts and
was a ferocious Rummikub and
Mexican Train dominoes player. She
treasured the many trips she took
with her oldest daughter, Norita, to
visit family members throughout the
United States.
She was very witty and things that
came out of her mouth often made
visitors laugh.
Frances was a devout Catholic
and long-time member of St. John
the Baptist Catholic church in Beach.
She attended daily Mass at St. Vin-
cent's Care Center until she was no
longer able to.
She is survived by two daughters;
