Frances Kay Cummings

Frances Kay Cummings, née Perry, passed away on June 25, 2024, at the age of 68, in Huntingburg, Indiana following a long and courageous battle with cancer. She was born on April 18, 1956, and raised in Elizabethtown, Kentucky.

Frances was preceded in death by her mother; Minnie Phillips, her father; Martin Perry, her brother; Joseph Charles Perry, and sister; Carol Edwards.

She was survived by her life partner; Carl Boman, three sisters and one brother; Wilma Bird, Joyce Perry, Debbie McMillen, and Kenneth Perry, three daughters; Dena Campbell, Stephanie Mayer, and Brittany Cummings, eight grandchildren; Alexandria Marion (and husband Bryce), Bidelia Geiman (and husband Jessie), Gage Smith, Zoey Simpson, Nora Campbell, Kaylin Collins, Charles Joseph Mayer, and Caroline Mayer… and two great grandchildren, Marci and Freyja.

Frances was an avid thrifter and decorator. She could take the mundane and unremarkable and make them something special and beautiful.. Christmas was her favorite holiday and her home was always festive, happy and full of life, just like her. When you walked in Franny’s door you knew that love lived there. She was kind and caring, a devoted partner, mother, and friend with a zest for life and a magical way of bringing smiles to all she touched. Without her light shining the world will be a darker place. She will be sorely missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her.

The family would like to think Angie Pearson, N.P., Memorial Hospital, The Lange- Fuhs Cancer Center, and Heart to Heart Hospice. The care Fran received during her journey was of the highest caliber and your empathy and support are much appreciated. Our deepest gratitude and sincerest thanks to all of you. A memorial service to celebrate Frances’ life will be held at a later date with notifications being sent to friends and family.
