Frances Chipman
Jerseyville | Save
Frances “Granny Chip” Chipman went to be with the Lord on November 22, 2016.
She was born in Jacksonville IL on February 26, 1916 to Herbert & Julia (Knowles) Barker. She married Raymond “Bill” Chipman on April 17th, 1940. Together they shared a wonderful life with their daughters and grandchildren.
Frances worked in her home as a beautician and later in life she spent her evenings managing the Pro Shop at Westlake Country Club.
In her free time she enjoyed dancing, golfing and playing cards. Often you would find her outdoors doing yardwork or playing with her grandchildren. Very rarely would you find her resting as she believed staying active is what kept her young.

Along with very special friends Martha Kraushaar, Arbie Carrico, Jeanie Lott and several cousins, nieces and nephews.
