Frances L. Berry, age 85, passed away peacefully on Monday, October 6, 2025. She was born July 14, 1940, in Tulsa, OK, to Carl and Helen (Morris) Holly.
Memorial Service will be held 10:00 A.M. Tuesday, October 14, 2025, Stumpff Funeral Home Chapel in Bartlesville.
In 1966 she attended and graduated from Bartlesville Beauty College, and after working in a few different shops for the first few years, she successfully opened and managed her own beauty shop. She enjoyed many years of wonderful friendships she made there.
In 1980, she followed in her mother's footsteps and began working at 1st National Bank, (later became Arvest), first as a teller, eventually as a mortgage loan officer until she retired.
In January 1980, she married the love of her life, Tom Berry, and they built a wonderful life together, moving to the country where she could fulfill her passion of owning as many animals and birds as she could. She loved all animals but was most proud of her miniature horses.
Frances made many friends over her lifetime, and was always the most loving, caring human, wanting to take care of anyone who was in need. She loved her family fiercely and was always the first one to help in any way she could.
She will be very, very missed by all who knew her.
Frances was preceded in death by her husband, her mother, and father.
She is survived by her children, her son Wes Patzkowski and wife Dora, her daughter Jana Graham and husband Alan, her bonus son Tom Berry, and bonus son Jerry Berry and wife Angie, her brother Larry Holly, and many, many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
The family would like to express gratitude and thanks to Bartlesville Health and Rehab Community, and to Comforting Hands Hospice for providing loving care and becoming her family during her short time there. She loved you all dearly.
