Born Nov. 3, 1921, to William and Anna Louise Butler of Richmond, Va., Frances later married her late husband, William John Rosch, on April 2, 1944. They moved to Washington, D.C., then to Oxon Hill, and after his death in 1959 she raised their four children.
Frances retired as an executive secretary at Bell Atlantic in Washington, D.C. She enjoyed spending time with friends and family, and made friends everywhere she went.
