Arlene Juliet Francis

Arlene Juliet Francis, 81, of Meadows Place, Texas passed away on September 4, 2023 in Sugar Land, TX. She was born on August 2nd, 1942 in St. Louis, Missouri to Clifton George Fredrick Klockman and Anna Martha Bernice (Volkmer) Klockman. Arlene was a long-time member of First Presbyterian Church of Sugar Land where she sang in the church choir and spearheaded a sewing group called Stitchin’ Mission, sewing comfort goods for those in need. She was incredibly talented in crafting, quilting, and card-making, but her career and passion in life was teaching. She loved to travel with her family and dear friends, most often to mountainous scenery and cooler weather, or a good casino to seek out a lucky slot machine. She most enjoyed the Christmas season and made sure to recognize every birthday, anniversary, and milestone of those she held closest. One of her greatest joys was being Gramma to her granddaughter, Elise, having a special bond sharing artistic talents and a sentimental spirit. She wore her heart on her sleeve and was purely honest, whether you liked it or not. A proud and loving mother, Gramma and friend; she will truly be missed. In addition to her parents, Arlene is preceded in death by her husband, Fred Francis, who continued to be the love of her life through to her final hour. Survivors include her son, Eric Francis; daughter, Julie Patrick and husband, Jason Patrick; granddaughter, Elise Francis; along with extended friends and family. Visitation will be held from 5:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m., Monday, September 11, 2023 in the State Room of Davis-Greenlawn Funeral Home in Rosenberg. A graveside service will be held at 12:00 p.m., Tuesday, September 12, 2023 at Forest Park Westheimer. A memorial service will follow the burial at 1:30 (Tuesday) at First Presbyterian Church, 502 Eldridge Road, Sugar Land, Texas.
