Frances Arrington

September 20, 1928 — October 4, 2017


France Henderson Arrington, of Vestavia, passed away on Wednesday, October 4, 2017, at age 89. She was born on September 20, 1928, in Birmingham, AL to her late parents, William Steavie and Minnie May Henderson. She is also preceded in death by her sister, Ruth Bedsole; brother, James Henderson; and her beloved husband of 66 years, Glynn Arrington.

Frances is survived by her daughters, Peggy Chastain, Glynda Wright, and Donna Arrington; granddaughter, Deborah Conway (Jeff); grandson, Jason Wright (Jessica); great-granddaughter, Ashley; great-grandsons, Cameron, Connor, and Ben. Also, Frances had nephews, Jim Henderson (Donna), Gene Henderson (Judy), Patrick Henderson; nieces, Linda Hall, Sissy Battles (Jeff), and Sheila Odom (Steve); and Marilyn Merchant, who lovingly visited and kept in touch. She will be greatly missed by her family and a host of friends. We rejoice in that Frances is with our Father but we are broken by the loss. She touched so many lives in ways that we know and some we will only know in heaven.

Frances and Glynn enjoyed traveling and celebrating special occasions in Florida and in the mountains with family and long-time friends. Frances retired from the Payroll Office at UAB in 1982. Frances is a former member of Lakewood Baptist Church and is now a member at Hunter Street Baptist Church. In more recent years, Frances enjoyed new friends and activities at her residence in Town Village and also with friends at the Hoover Senior Center.

The family will receive friends Friday, October 6, 2017, from 11:00 – 1:00 in the chapel at Hunter Street Baptist Church. A memorial service will follow at 1:00 PM in the chapel.
