Two of whom went to Mortuary School in San Francisco and returned to start Romero Funeral Homes Inc., one served in the Army during Vietnam and later became a master embalmer and helped his brothers at the funeral home and their only daughter became a beautician. She owned and operated All Hair Care until her passing. Frances devoted her life caring for her family and serving the Lord. She was devoted to her faith and her love for God. She not only raised four wonderful children of her own but also played an immeasurable part in helping raise many of her grandchildren. Frances was known for her kind, compassionate and loving nature. She was also an amazing cook. Her spaghetti, tortillas, tamales and chili were treasured by her family. Frances was one of the most dedicated and exceptional wife, mother, grandmother, great , great-great-grandmother and friend that we could ask for. She was selfless with her time and made sure to always be the first to help anyone in need.
