Obituary - Frances Dempsey Barber

Obituary - Frances Dempsey Barber

June 20, 1929 – August 7, 2024 

On the evening of August 7, 2024, our loving mother, Frances Dempsey Barber, 95, passed away at her home in Fallon, Nevada. 

She was a seamstress by trade and retired after 40 years from the same business. She loved making quilts and clothing for her grandchildren in her spare time.  

She was a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother and will be dearly missed. 

Francis is survived by her daughters Debbie Hay and Nancy Carter, her grandchildren, Jonas Hartley, Sossity Nichols, Yara Tadlock, Richard Hay, Jarrid Hay, Kaitlyn Hollingworth and Nathan Carter, and great grandchildren: Colette Hartley and Isabelle Hartley. 

Arrangements will be at Smith Family Funeral Home and will be held at a later date.

The memories remain of a soft-spoken, seemingly unassuming but determined individual who absolutely knew what path she wanted to take in life, and followed it. Her instinctive reactions, which highlighted her steadfast level of love and caring for her family, friends and all living things found in nature, hold lessons for us all. An unexpected splash of her self-deprecating humor, coupled with uncanny timing, will always bring a smile. For me, Marie lives on in the sighting of a Black-crowned night heron in the tules, the bloom of a beautiful spring flower and, most poetically, in the struggle of wildlife photographers handling their very large camera lenses.

Her dad Ted was my dad's brother. I never knew Ted or Betty, but I wish I did. I am 73 and live in IL. I am building my family tree and see where Betty has fit in. Blessings to you Curt and family.
