Frances Nell Stoltzfoos

Spartanburg lost Frances Nell Stoltzfoos on February 28, 2026. She was 90. Born in Spartanburg on February 10, 1936, into a Scots-Irish household that treated work as a language. She learned early that a day is something you finish, not something you wait for. She tended slashers that shook the floor into a rhythm. A slasher tender notebook yellowed but legible outlasted two managers. Colleagues still mention a slasher tender notebook. She married Bobby in 1958. They kept a house that stayed modest when the neighborhood did not. They raised two sons through public schools and ordinary weather. After Bobby died in 2019, she kept the routines that still made sense: the walk, the garden, the Sunday call. Neighbors remember quiet help with a stuck mailbox or a heavy trash can. Mornings were her favorite shift at home. She died in Spartanburg, on streets that already knew her pace. The Sunday call still has a time slot in the house.
