Name/Title
Frances Jew - Reading - Excell HealthcareDescription
The only girl in a family of 13 children, Frances was born in San Francisco in 1930. In her youth, she was an excellent baseball player, a talent she attributes to many hours playing the game after school with her brothers. In high school, she spent her time watching over her younger brothers, painting and “chasing after boys.” But wanting to live on her own while still in high school, she moved out of the family house to live with her girlfriends.
After graduation, Frances began working as a typist, but soon switched to taking care of elders. Her grandparents had lived with the family when she was growing up and she discovered a wonderful cure for the loneliness she witnessed in her clients—singing to them.
She married and has five sons and one daughter. She is now the proud grandmother of 35 grandchildren!
Frances used to love bowling and cooking and now enjoys doodling and painting with watercolors. She describes herself as a funny person who makes friends easily and loves to laugh. "You shouldn't be too serious," she says with a twinkle in her eye.
