Frances Geary Bratcher Leach, 47, of Beaver Dam, passed away Saturday, Jan. 17, 2015, at Hardin Memorial Hospital in Elizabethtown. She was born May 30, 1967, in Hartford to the late Leonard Alton and Judlida Bratcher Geary.
She was of Christian Faith and was a homemaker.
Frances loved DQ Blizzards, watching HGTV and posting inspiring memes to Facebook. She was easy to tease, quick witted in her own right, meeting each joke with a warm smile and a joust of her own — some better than others. Other people came first for Frances, and it is why so many people across so many states loved her so dearly.
Besides her parents, her first husband, Kevin Bratcher, preceded her in death.
Survivors include her husband, Michael Leach, of Beaver Dam; her son, Nicholas Bratcher, of Bloomington, Ind.; her daughter, Tabitha (James) Kincaid, of Owensboro; one step-daughter, Rebekkah Leach, of Bowling Green.; one brother, Leonard Alton Geary, Jr., (Amber), of Central City; and two sisters, Tammy (Jerry) Franklin, of Morgantown, and Rita (Daymon) Deweese, of Morgantown.
The funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 21, at William L. Danks Funeral Home in Beaver Dam with Rev. Fritz Games and Rev. Tim Cook officiating. Burial will be in Sunnyside Cemetery. Visitation will be Tuesday from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. and Wednesday from 9 a.m. until the time of the funeral service.
