Frances Elizabeth Billingsley

Frances Elizabeth Billingsley, 94, passed away April 6th at Senatobia Health Care and Rehab.  She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Anelia and Charles Weed of Birmingham, AL; granddaughter, Leslie (Scott) Baker of Raleigh, NC; grandson, Chris (Kara) Weed of Kennesaw, GA; and 4 great-grandchildren.

Frances was born in Sardis, MS on August 23, 1928 to Henry W. and Eunice Gordon.  She was a lifelong resident of Senatobia, MS and was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Robert Ray Billingsley.  Frances enjoyed cooking for her family and maintaining her yard and garden until her mid-80’s.  She was an active member of Senatobia First Baptist Church for over 50 years.

Special recognition must be given to three individuals, Carol Mock (niece), Renee Thompson (great-niece), and Camille Massey (special friend).  All three visited and lovingly cared for Frances during her years at Providence Assisted Living and Senatobia Health Care and Rehab.  They helped grant Frances’s wish to stay in her hometown.  Appreciation is also given to the nurses, aides and staff of Senatobia Health Care and Rehab for the comforting care they provided.

Memorial donations may be sent to First Baptist Church Senatobia or St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (stjude.org/donatetoday).
