It was a great day to fly, Sunday, May 26, 2013 when Mary Frances Williams, 72, of Reynoldsville met Jesus. She passed peacefully at United Hospital Center listening to her Gaither’s CDs and surrounded by her family and loved ones. She was born on April 20, 1941 in Harrison County a daughter of the late Lory Lemuel and Jessie May Regester Harbert. Frances had fond memories of growing up in Country Club and on Davis Street with her five sisters; Betty Mucha, Nadine Harbert, Avanell Ours, Beverly Harbert, and Bonnie Schellenberger. She graduated from Washington Irving High School and worked several jobs including Merrill’s Printing and Engraving, Mercer’s Drug Store, Craig’s Automotive, Avis Rent-A-Car, Floral Hill’s Memorial Garden, Chico Dairy, and retired as a secretary/biller from Tolley Electric Company. She was also known as the Avon lady where she had a route covering most of Clarksburg.

Also surviving are her nieces and nephews Stephanie Kopp and husband Paul, Shelby Cain and husband “Mudd”, Mike Mucha and wife Darlene, Kathy Lucente and husband Tony, and Nick Ours along with several other special family and friends she held dear to her heart. She enjoyed having company and baking homemade treats to serve them, bowling, fishing, dancing, playing bingo, scratch-offs, singing silly songs, family celebrations, attending church, traveling with her friend Carolyn Mayle King, trips with her family, and story-telling. Her witty sense of humor and spunky personality will never be forgotten.
