Frances Margaret Paisley of Rocky Mountain House passed away on September 28th, 2024 at the age of 95, with her children by her side.
Born in Caroline, Alberta, Frances was the sixth of eight children born to Mike and Mary Benz. Frances attended school in Caroline and worked full time on the family farm. Later on Frances had a job at the telephone office in Rocky, and this is when Frances met Stewart. Frances and Stewart had a quick courtship and they were married in 1956. Frances and Stewart had a family of five children and lived for a number of years in Fort Nelson BC, but they eventually moved back to Rocky to raise their children.
Frances was an avid bowler and for years we had a family league team who even made the legion playoffs. She started downhill skiing in her 50’s; she enjoyed golfing and was an avid fisherman. The grandkids could always count on Grandma to go sledding on a tire tube with them as well.
Frances was predeceased by her husband Stewart, daughter Frances and granddaughter Natasha, her parents, as well as all her siblings with the exception of the baby of the Benz family, Marie Ogilvie.
Frances is survived by her children Cheryle Paisley (Colin McKenzie), Pat Cowan (Dean Schultz), Duane Paisley (Bobbi Feil), Darren (Lana) Paisley, Tom Davies, one sister Marie Ogilvie, as well as numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren and nieces and nephews.
A funeral service for Frances will be held Friday October 11th at 1:00 p.m. at the Rocky Funeral Home.
