Frances was a stay-at-home Mom until all of her children were of school age. She worked at a daycare and later retired from NYS Office of General Services. Frances loved to play Bingo, go to the casino and work Seek and Find puzzles. To know her was to love her straight forwardness, her "isms" and great sense of humor. She was given the nickname "Knickerbocker Times Union" because she always knew everything you did not want her to know.

Henrie, Geraldine (Willie) James, Helen Franklin, Gladys (Emmett) Brooks, all of Albany, NY, Delorise (Anthony) Moore of Springville, AL and one son, George W. Allen, Jr. of Albany; two sisters, Marie (Marion) Jones of Stockton, California, Janie Patterson of San Diego, California and one brother, Arthur Gene (Beatrice) Melton, Albany, NY, sister-in-law, Daisy Melton, Albany, NY and a host of grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren, nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends
