She was a devoted wife and mother and terrific friend. Aside from nursing, Mary Frances also volunteered as a Pink Lady at local hospitals. An accomplished seamstress, she created dolls, quilts and clothing for her family. Spending time tending her vegetable and flower gardens when she was younger gave her immense joy. She was a member of the Retired Teachers Association, Garden Club, VFW Auxillary, Home Demonstration Club, and Retired SRS Volunteer Club of the Brazos Valley. Mary Frances is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Frances Jane and Larry Tinney of Navasota; two grandchildren, Devin Andrew Tinney and David Stokely Tinney; four great-grandchildren, Raeanna Tinney, Carter Stokely Tinney, David Andrew Tinney and Hannah Naomi Tinney nieces Carolyn Carter and Amy Haralson; and nephews Michael Rutherford, Kenneth Meyers and John Meyers.
