Frances Elizabeth Box

Frances Elizabeth Box. 85 of Indian Springs, died Thursday November 15th 2012

She was born to the late Carl and Ella Pearl Robertson, September 15th 1927, in Lake, Mississippi. Frances moved with her family to Texas in the early forties and attended Galena Park High School before entering the work force in support of the war effort. At the close of the War she was introduced to the brother of her best friend. Two months later in January of 1946 she married Raymond G “Buddy” Box and they made their life together in Houston before relocating to Livingston in 1975. Today, after almost 67 years of marriage he survives her.

Those closest to Frances knew her by the nickname her father gave her as a girl, “Doodie”. Frances was a gifted and respected artist, participating in every artistic endeavor that took her fancy, including ceramics, pottery, jewelry design and painting. She supplemented the family income as a professional seamstress from 1968 until her death, though for the last many years she rarely charged a fee for her services choosing to pass her “blessings” on to others in an effort to give back what she felt was so generously given to her throughout her life by the legions of friends and acquaintances she was blessed to have. In more recent years she turned her artistic mind and hands to the craft of quilting where she enjoyed success and favor in the eyes of the public who purchased her work. But the fact is that most of her best pieces are in the hands of her family and friends.

Frances was an active member of Sunflower Baptist Church and will be sorely missed in their church life. In her younger days she and her husband loved to travel driving the roads of North America and on one occasion took a road trip that lasted more than a month venturing all the way into Canada.

Alongside her husband Buddy, Frances is survived by her son and daughter in law, Thom and Patrice Box, of Haverhill, England, grandson Adrian Box of London England, and her chosen children and their family, Jenny and Kenneth Devoltz and family, all richly blessed by her love and devoted to their mother and grandmother. She is also survived by many relatives and extended family including her sister Katherine and Ray Clakely and family, Douglas and Kitty Robertson and family, Mickey Glover and family, Leonard and Johnnie Tucker, Pat Morgan and family, David Box and family as well as her best friend of 64 years, Mary Dunbar of Yaupon Cove along with her children who were always considered family by Aunt Dood. She was preceded in death by her two daughters Frances Raylene Box and Carmen Delawiese Box along with her granddaughter Carmen Denise Logan.
The funeral was held at Pace Funeral Homes of Livingston TX. Burial was as San Jacinto Memorial Park in Houston Texas.
