Frances Virginia (Hatfield) Jones, age 94, of Hondo passed away Sunday, Oct. 28, 2012. Born Oct. 9, 1918, in Dill City, OK, she was the daughter of Lewis Clifton and Floy Ethel (Hostetter) Hatfield. If asked to describe Frances with a single word, some might choose "gentle". Everyone was important to her. She took a genuine interest in the lives of others and much joy and pride in her family, loving them dearly. Frances loved birds. Not only did she enjoy them outdoors, but she surrounded herself with them indoors as well. Collections of beautiful bird figurines and pictures filled her home. Warmth and graciousness also abounded there. She made homemaking an art. Everything was always nice and tidy, ready for any guests, expected or otherwise, right down to the pretty rose soaps in the bathroom that little hands were not allowed to touch. Walking into her house at Christmas was like entering a red and green winter wonderland, although she did not limit her hall-decking to boughs of holly. Depending on the season, you could find hearts and cupids, bunnies and eggs, or American flags displayed throughout her home. She was an excceptional seamstress, able to whip up anything from a prom gown to dcurtains, sometimes even creating her own patterns. She also enjoyed creating beautiful afhans for her friends, children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren, her way of always being there to wrap you in her love. She was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Kenneth "Billy" Hatfield; and sister, Luann Fairbanks. She is survived by her son, Harry Dietzmann and wife Dorothy; daughters, Paula Dzezanowski and husband John, Sandra Hefner and husband Tracy, and Debbie Muennink and husband Glenn; five grandchildren, Darren Dietzmann, Brian Charles, Amanda Jennings, Amalia Muennink and Michael Muennink; six great-grandchildren, Austin and Skylar Dietzmann, Haleigh Jennings, Lewis Charles, Bryson Lunsford and Annabelle Muennink; and brother, Luckey Hatfield. Funeral service will be held at 10 a.m., Tuesday, Oct. 30, at New Fountain United Methodist Church, followed by interment at New Fountain Cemetery.
