Frances Lynn Criss, 64, of Basin went home to be with the Lord on Monday, September 3, 2012 in a Beckley hospital following a short illness. Born June 11, 1948 at Mullens, she was the daughter of the late James Shumate and Gladdis Reed. Frances was a homemaker and attended Garwood Church.

She would always say they made her day brighter just seeing the smile on their faces. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her previous husband, Beuford Lusk; and two brothers, Doug Reed and Jimmy Shumate. Those left to cherish her memory include her two sons, Beuford Lusk of Princeton and Johnnie Criss and his wife, Patricia, of Alpoca; and five grandchildren, Katina Lusk, Jeremy Criss, Michael Criss, Makayla Criss, and Austin Criss.
