Frances Davis Kinnear, 106, died Monday, July 25, 2016, in Harrisonburg, at the Sunnyside Retirement Community, her home for the past 25 years.
At Sunnyside, she was an avid gardener, enjoyed making her signature pressed flower greeting cards, and contributed to the wellbeing of other Sunnyside residents through her many volunteer activities. She was a vigorous competitor in card games, a voracious reader and student of the natural environment.
Articulate, fun-loving and curious, Frances began many sentences with “I wonder...” and attributed her longevity to “wanting to see what happens next.” Loving wife, mother and loyal friend to so many, she will be sorely missed.
Frances was born June 3, 1910, in Fairfield, Va., to Venable Watkins Davis and Mary Mackey Davis.
