Frances Reid
Frances I. Reid, 69, of Polson, MT passed away at her home on May 27, 2009.

Frances had traveled to all 50 states during her life. She had owned three convenience stores in three different states. She had developed and sold a farm in Oregon. She had made and sold wooden wall décor in California and many times Frances was doing more than job at a time.

Frances enjoyed bowling.

Pat……Frances was an amazingly bright, caring woman. I will miss her and yet, knowing that her struggle is over, salves the wounds.
Please know that we’re thinking of you. Am sorry I didn’t know about Frances’ death before today!
Love,
Amy
Pat, how sorry I was to hear that Frances passed away. I so enjoyed your visits to the election office over the years, and have been missing those. My condolences on your loss, and I look forward to our next visit in the office or parking lot, if that is where we bump into each other. Take care and know there are others thinking of you in your time of loss.
