On October 15, 2016 we lost a very special, sweet Christian woman, Frances Maxine LaMont, 94 of Bear Lake, MI. Frances passed away at Manistee County Medical Care facility while under care of Hospice.

Frances worked as an L.P.N. at Mercy Hospital in Manistee, the old County farm, and at present time, the Manistee County Medical Care Facility. She retired in 1969. Frances and her husband, Roscoe were very active in the Pleasanton Methodist church and now at present time the Bear Lake Methodist Church. Frances was a true Christian in all aspects of her life.
