Frances Elizabeth Smith Isaacs went home to be with her Lord and Savior on March 22, 2014.

Mrs. Isaacs was born on September 22, 1918 in Wichita Falls, TX to James Art Smith and Minnie Ola Smith ne Potter. Her family, which included three sisters and one brother, moved to Amarillo, TX in 1920 where Mrs. Isaacs attended public schools and graduated from Amarillo High School May 1937.
During high school she met and later married C.L. Jack Isaacs in 1938. They were blessed to be married for 51 years. Jack and Frances had three children Preston, Linda and Jay. In 1952 they moved to Roswell, NM where they lived for over 50 years.

During their time in Roswell they were active in the community, devoted members of First United Methodist Church, which they joined in 1958, and the Roswell Masonic Lodge. Mrs. Isaacs was actively involved in Roswell Chapter 10 Order of Eastern Star, Assembly 116 Social Order of Beauceant, Daughters of the Nile and Rainbow Girls. In 1973 Mrs. Isaacs proudly served as Worthy Matron of Eastern Star, in 1983 served as President of Beauceant and in 2000 received her 50 year recognition as a member of Eastern Star. The devotion, love, commitment and dedication to and from her Masonic family are immeasurable.
