Frances I. Thaman

Frances Irene Thaman (Belg), a beloved soul who graced this world with her presence on January 31, 1950, bid farewell to us on June 29, 2024. She left behind a legacy that will forever echo in the hearts of those who knew her.

Frances dedicated an impressive 32 years of her life to Government Contracting before retiring as a civilian from Wright-Patterson AFB in January 2005. Her commitment and hard work were truly exemplary, leaving a lasting impact on those around her.

Known for her wonderful sense of humor and ability to find joy even the simplest of things, Frances brought warmth and laughter wherever she went, including when she traveled around the world on multiple cruises. She had a passion for singing karaoke, playing Euchre, and crafting beautiful poems. Her creativity knew no bounds, and she poured love and dedication into everything she did.

Beyond her hobbies, Frances cherished nothing more than her family. She adored her grandchildren and found immense joy in organizing birthday celebrations and creating delightful treasure hunts for them. Her love knew no bounds, and her family was the center of her universe.

In the embrace of El Paso, Texas, Frances first opened her eyes to the world. And now, as we lay her to rest, we remember not only the remarkable woman she was but also the love she shared with each and every person blessed enough to have known her.

Frances was preceded in death by her husband, Roger Thaman; loving parents Robert & Estella Belg; dear brother William Belg; and beloved sister Linda Edgington.

Left to cherish her memory, her daughters Charmain Edwards (Dennis) and Heather Miller (Gary); adored grandchildren Meaghan Windle, Robert Edwards, and Hope Miller-Hernandez (Manny); caring sisters ,Theresa Belg and Juanita Jones (Ernie); along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will forever hold her memory close to their hearts.

As we gather at Newcomer, North Chapel on July 6th, 2024, to honor Frances' life with a Memorial Gathering from 2:00pm to 3:00pm, followed by a Memorial Service, let us remember the light she brought into our lives and carry it forward as a beacon of love and compassion in her honor. Frances may have bid us farewell from this earthly realm but her spirit will forever shine brightly in our memories.
