Frances Louise Federline

Mrs. Frances Louise “Nan” Wills Federline, 97, of Frederick, peacefully departed this earth on Sunday February 6, 2022 to be in the loving arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  Frances was a resident at the Frederick Health and Rehabilitation Center of Frederick. She was loved by the staff there and known for her kindness and gentle nature. She was the loving wife of Thomas Meredith Federline for 38 years, who preceded her in death in 1981. Frances was born on August 4, 1924 in Halfway, Maryland.   She was the 8th of 15 children born to Harvey Cleason and Nellie Mae Whittington Wills.  She graduated from Frederick High School in 1941.  After high school she worked at the Rationing Board in Frederick, but joyfully stepped down once she married Tommy to become a homemaker.  She later worked at MMI in Frederick where she was fondly known as Nan.  She was a life member of the Parkway Community Church and when her youngest son was born she became the chairman of the Cradle Roll where she lovingly nurtured many children over the years in the Nursery.  She also served and held office in many other Parkway organizations and events. She was loved by the Parkway congregation and was affectionately known as Miss Frances. Frances was a devoted follower of Christ.  It is because of her faith that her children, and many other children, across many generations are now followers of Christ.  Frances loved helping others and she was loved by everyone who knew her.  Her smile would light up the room and she always let others know how much she appreciated them.  Frances loved to travel, she really enjoyed her time with her sisters in Florida visiting Mickey Mouse at Disney World.  She also never met a chocolate she didn’t like.
Frances is survived by three children:  Timothy Federline of Kissimmee,
Florida, Karla Deater of Frederick, Maryland, and Brian Federline
(Marianne) of Hagerstown, Maryland, and was preceded in death by a
stepson, Ronald Federline (Judith).  Frances had a deep love for her five grandchildren; Timmy Federline (Trish), Kevin Federline (Jessica), Laura Dennis (Mike), Matt Danner (Sarah) and her two step granddaughters;
Annette Tennant (Punch), and Christine Harrington (Richard), plus her many great-grandchildren and nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by one granddaughter, Kimberly Federline. She will especially be remembered by three great grandchildren; Sean, Rebecca and Marley Dennis. Frances was preceded in death by 6 sisters and 5 brothers and is survived by 3 sisters; Dolores Urey of Ocala, Florida, Betty Chase of Frederick, Maryland and Barbara Stone of Frederick, Maryland.
