Frances Lee Thibeault, 68, of Griffin, Georgia died on July 24, 2010 at Brightmoor Nursing Center. She was born March 11, 1942 in Washington, DC to the late Gertrude Gray Lee and the late Robert William Lee.

She grew up in Prince Frederick, Maryland on her family's farm and graduated from Calvert Senior High School. She attended Strayer College and received a business certificate in 1961. She married Norman Herbert Thibeault of Springfield, Massachusetts on June 10, 1961. She worked in the secretarial and accounting fields until her retirement in 2003. She was very active in church and community organizations until her health prevented it.

For many years, she loved to garden, read, and go camping on the RV that she and Norman owned. They spent many hours boating on the nearby waters.

She was very proud of her family and her heritage and loved to share her life with her daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren. In March 2007, as her health was declining, she and Norman chose to move to Georgia to be closer to their daughter and her family. Most recently, she lived at Brightmoor Nursing Center and her family is eternally grateful for the excellent care and compassion she received by the dedicated and loving staff.

She was predeceased by her husband of 48 years, Norman Herbert Thibeault.
