A graveside service celebrating the life of Mrs. Frances Lorraine Collinsworth will take place at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, September 18, 2026, at Campground Cemetery in Bienville, with Bro. Bruce Bratton officiating.

Born on November 6, 1937, in Coushatta, Louisiana to Marbry and Hazel Harbrell Blewer, Frances entered into peaceful rest on September 15, 2026, at her home, surrounded by her loving family.

Frances was a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, wife, sister, and friend. Her early years were filled with joy, especially spending days water skiing with friends at the lake. She pursued bookkeeping upon graduating high school, contributing her skills to the state and Collinsworth Farms, among others. Later, following her passion, she became a respiratory therapist in her 50s, touching many lives with her care and dedication. A faithful member of Bryceland Baptist Church, Frances cherished moments spent at Dove House with fellow church members. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Preceding her in death were her husband, Billy Wade Collinsworth, son Norman Bradly Collinsworth, and sister Jessie Fair.

Frances leaves behind cherished memories with her children Cindy Sprute and husband Sam, Brian Collinsworth and husband Tavis, Billy Clark Collinsworth, and Gaye Taunton and husband Bert; grandchildren Brittany Lorraine Collinsworth, Andy Talbert, Zane Talbert, Shay Delaney, Blake Taunton, Collin Taunton, and Contessa Lestingi; 13 great-grandchildren; brother Norman Blewer and husband Theo, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and other loving family members.
