Born on 25th January 1923 to Mary and Fred Swain, she was one of six children. She married Douglas Green in 1946 and they had three children: Tim and Sue who were 14 and 7 when the volcano erupted in 1961 and they were evacuated to England; and Rosalie, who was born shortly after arriving in the UK. In 1963 Frances returned to the island with her family. Frances could always be found with an easy smile and an infectious laugh. She was a great cook and regularly enjoyed serving up great feasts especially at Christmas and on New Year’s Day. Frances was also a dab hand at cards, a skill she passed on to her grandchildren. She will also be remembered as kind and gentle by all who had the pleasure to meet and know her. Frances is survived by her son Tim and daughter Sue and will be missed deeply by her grandchildren Matthew, Dion, Trish and Gem as well as her beloved sister Gladys. |
