August 24, 1950 - February 1, 2025

Frances Moffet of Sierra Vista, AZ passed away on February 1st after battling an unexpected illness. Frances' devotion to her family and her belief in Jesus Christ supported her in this struggle, and she is now at peace with her Lord and Savior.

Frances was one of 13 children, the daughter of Neil Young Sr. and Josie Young. Neil was a Mississippi farm owner, and Josie was a homemaker. Frances' parents and grandparents

instilled her with Christian beliefs and moral character. From them she learned about cooking, obeying authority, and virtuous living.

Frances came to know the Moffett family through St. Phillip's Lutheran Church, where she volunteered to help with Vacation Bible School and attended Sunday School. She eventually married James and was soon an Army spouse, one of the most difficult jobs in the military. She loyally and patriotically supported Jim as he moved from post to post as he rose through the officer ranks.

Frances was not idle. She earned an Associate of Arts Degree in Sociology and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. After Jim's Army retirement she was active in Sierra Vista. For years she and her husband have been involved in local wedding ceremonies as MCs and photographers. Together, they even wrote a book on marriage: How Marriages Survive. Furthermore, Frances faithfully served for many years as an usher at the Kino Gospel Service on FT Huachuca.

Frances is survived by her husband, James; son, James, Jr.; granddaughters, lyanah and Aria Moffett; brothers, Robert and George "Bubba," and Charles "Pete" (and Shirley) Young; sister, Mattie (and Earl) Jefferson. She is preceded in death by her parents, Neil and Josie Young. Frances was not idle. She earned an Associate of Arts Degree in Sociology and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology.
