Obituary of Frances Long
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Frances Muriel (Hall) (Brown) Long announces her passing at the Kiwanis Nursing Home on September 3, 2026, at the remarkable age of 98.
Born in Jordan Mountain on November 20, 1927, she was a daughter of the late Edward Warren and Mary Alice (King) Hall. Frances was the loving wife of the late Victor Brown and the late Cecil Long.
Frances lived a long, full life and truly enjoyed the simple things it had to offer. An avid hunter and trapper, she was happiest living close to the land and was never afraid of a little hard work. She loved tending her garden and preserving its bounty, filling jars with homemade jams, jellies and pickles. Above all, Frances simply loved life. She embraced it with strength, determination and an appreciation for the world around her, leaving her family with nearly a century of memories to treasure.
