Life Reflections

Mrs. Frances "Bell" Isabella Pendergrass, daughter of the late Perry Mason Owens, Sr. and the late Pearlese Owens was born in Kingstree, South Carolina on January 23, 1955. She departed her earthly life on July 30, 2026 at her residence.

Both of Frances's parents instilled the virtue of hard work and the value of education. Frances graduated from Kingstree High School in 1973. After graduating, she started her career at Oneita Knitting in Lane, SC, Baxter Laboratories in Kingstree, SC, and McLeod Hospital in Florence, SC as a Surgical Tech.

On September 3, 1977 she entered into Holy Matrimony to Abraham Pendergrass, Sr. of Kingstree, SC.

Frances never forgot her humble beginnings and was always there for you whenever you needed her. She always made you laugh. The memories many have of her is not only what she taught them but the love that she spread to everyone. While Frances legacy can be testified to by all who knew her, her greatest legacy will be her children in whom Frances instilled the same values taught to her by her parents.
