Memorial

Mementos

Frances Louise Mowery of Clinton, Tennessee passed away on October 12, 2020. Frances was born to Ray and Lucille Webb Nichols on March 28, 1935. Frances was a creative and precious soul. She could do anything once she decided on it. She truly loved crafting, cooking, sewing, and especially quilting. Her quilts were works of art, and her jams and jellies were sought after like gold, and ohhhh, the blueberry cobbler! She also truly relished beating her grandkids in a rousing game of horse! She lived her life as a devout Christian. Her love for her small group and other extended family at Highland View Church of Christ was second only to her love of God and her own family. Frances was predeceased by her parents and her only son, Robert N. Mowery. She is survived by her husband of 68 years, Erb Mowery. She is also survived by her two daughters, Vicki McKamey, and husband, Don; Donna McPheeters; and daughter-in-law, Carolyn Mowery. Frances has four special grandchildren, Michelle Bailey and husband, Grant; Joe McKamey and wife, Sarah; Joshua McPheeters and wife, Dr. Chelsey McPheeters; and Dr. Morgan McPheeters and significant other, Jake Holt. Special lights in her life were her five great-grandchildren, Kenzie Hodnett, and husband, Jake; Eli McKamey, Micah McKamey, Ruby Bailey, Lucy Bailey, and Copeland McPheeters. Frances is also survived by brothers, Bobby Nichols, and Ted Nichols and wife, Ruth. She is also survived by a host of very special nieces and nephews. Frances Mowery will be forever missed by her husband, children, grandchildren, and extended family and friends. There will be a Memorial Service celebrating the life of Frances Mowery at Highland View Church of Christ in Oak Ridge, TN. The service will begin at 2:00 P.M., October 17, 2020. There will not be a receiving line, but there will be an opportunity to share a memory if you wish. Please wear a mask and choose a socially distanced seat. In lieu of flowers, Frances would have preferred a donation to the Food Pantry or Thanks 4 Giving program at Highland View Church of Christ.

The Mowery’s are truly the kindest people I’ve ever met. 68 years of marriage! What an inspiration... Frances was such a kind lady, she welcomed us whole hearted into her home anytime. We swam in her pool a lot and she would always have food waiting for us in the kitchen. I remember her cobbler as being a huge fan favorite at all the get togethers. I will never forget every Halloween she would always be waiting on her grandkids to come over in their costumes... every year she would also be waiting on my kids to come over and would have them a special treat bag waiting. She was so thoughtful in this way. I am so thankful that I was able to know such and amazing lady who touched so many people. You will be missed!! Love and prayers to all. ❤️

The Mowery and Bowers families met I think about 1956 or 1957. I remember vividly Vicki standing on her side of the street and me on mine; we were only about four or five. She asked if I wanted her to see if her mom would let her come over to play. I said yes, so Vicki just “looked both ways” and crossed the street. She had already asked. I feel sure that Frances was watching from the door as her little one came across the street. I feel blessed that as I grew up, Erb and Frances were “watching from the door” even for me. Vicki and I stayed friends, so the many times I was in their home, they treated me as one of their own. Guidance solid and true, as only Christian parents do. My love and respect for them remain. Like love for parents. My heart is just broken.

We met Mrs. Mowery in Amarillo, TX many years ago when Carolyn and Robert were married. We extend our most sincere condolences to the Mowery family on the loss of what is obviously a lovely person. Carolyn is Jo's niece, she has spoken lovingly about her over the years, Jo and I feel that we missed out by having known her only briefly. Again our most sincere condolences to Carolyn and all the Mowery family for their loss.

Frances and Erb were long time friends of my parents through Highland View. Even after the passing of each of my parents they would check on my family and stay in touch. Frances could always make you laugh at something and was truly a wonderful soul. I have fond memories of Sunday morning hugs from Frances and Erb following a sweet conversation. Our prayers are with you, Erb, and we love you.
