Frances Evelyn Green McIntosh was born on February 8, 1936, in Wren, Mississippi. She departed this life on June 6, 2025, at her daughter’s home; surrounded by her loving and dedicated family.
Frances was a dedicated member of the Church of Christ for sixty-two years. She was a faithful servant who worked diligently to bring souls to Christ.
She was an educator who taught school at Carver Junior High School and Tupelo High School in Tupelo Ms.
She was the regional ambassador for the National Council of Negro Women and was instrumental in obtaining funding and resources for the enrichment of the Wren community, especially the youth.
Frances’ parents, Russell and Birdie Mae Green, died at an early age, and she was raised by her aunt Mary Emma Townsend.
Frances was preceded in death by her husband of 28 years, Artee (R.T.) McIntosh who made his transition on August 24, 2011 and her brother E.L., who passed away on July 15, 2022.
Frances was a loving daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, great – grandmother, great -great grandmother, aunt, niece, cousin and friend. She was the spiritual advisor, promise keeper, counselor, friend, and encourager for her family and others.
She battled many health challenges during her last decade of life, but her soul remained anchored in the Lord. She was strengthened by studying the Word of God and listening to gospel sermons and songs. A couple of her favorite songs were, “Because He Lives” and There’s a leak in this old building.”
She fervently prayed that she would not have to bury any of her children, and God answered her prayer.
