Frances Inez Westbrook

Frances Inez Westbrook, born August 13, 1937, passed away on September 29, 2026. She will be remembered with deep love as a woman whose life reflected faith, devotion, and quiet strength. Love and prayer come to mind in remembering her, along with the steady care she gave to those around her. She was a proud mother and grandmother, a dedicated person, and someone who remained loyal and supportive to her friends, family, and community.

Frances graduated from Clarkston High School in 1955. She went on to work as a bookkeeper at Allied Ready Mix, serving with diligence and dependability. Outside of work, she found enjoyment in reading, and her life was also shaped by her faith. She was part of the WMU, the Women’s Missionary Union, and was a Christian of the Baptist faith at Mountainview Baptist Church.

Her family was at the heart of her life. She is survived by her son, Kevin Westbrook, and her daughter-in-law, Wanda Westbrook. She also leaves her sister, Catherine Sheppard, and brother-in-law, Ronald Sheppard. Frances’s love continues through her grandchildren, Leann Pracht, Erich Pracht, Christopher Westbrook, and Ashley Westbrook, and through her great-granddaughter, Eliza Pracht. Each of them carries forward the memory of her love, encouragement, and faithful presence.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Marvin Westbrook; by her father, Percy Carnes, and her mother, Elizabeth Carnes; and by her siblings, Buddy Carnes, Minnie Carnes, Mary Gramling, and Ethel Jordan. Their memories remained part of her life and story, and now she is reunited with those who went before her.
