On the evening of September 27, 2023, Frances Stanford Alston, much beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, mother-in-law and aunt, passed away after a brief illness, at the age of 98. Frances was born in Atlanta, Ga in 1924. She met the love of her life, Clinton M. Alston in 1939 while both were attending Atlanta high schools. They married on September 19, 1941 just before Clint shipped out during WWII. They eventually moved with their 2 girls, Carole and Ann, to Augusta where Clint started several import automobile and RV businesses under the title of Clint Alston Motor Sales, with Frances working alongside him. After retiring from business, they returned to the Atlanta area to be near their daughters, and to begin their pursuit of traveling around the USA and Hawaii.
Frances was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence A. and Evelyn Baker Stanford, her brother T.C. Brewster, Jr. and sister Dorothy Jones Luongo. She is survived by daughters Carole Sopko (Steve) and Ann Deal (Bob), and many loving nieces and nephews.
The funeral service will be held at Northside Chapel at 12050 Crabapple Rd, Roswell, GA 30075 on Saturday October 7th. at 1:00p.m. The family will receive friends during the visitation hour at 12:00P.M. just prior to the service. Interment will be at Greenwood Cemetery.
