Working with the children at the Baptist Childcare Center was where she stayed until her retirement. Faith was important to Fran throughout her life. She was a member of First United Methodist Church and really enjoyed fellowship with her Sunday school class. On Sundays she would bake cakes and make coffee before class began. When she was unable to attend her regular church she would listen to the services at Pulaski Heights United Methodist Church on TV. Her motto was you have to believe in Jesus and Love for one another was the most important thing in life. Fran was always up to date on current events, politics and the stock market.

She was strong willed and determined which contributed to her living such a full, long, healthy life. Ruth Frances Bowman Miller had many names.
