"Frances Ivadelle was born in Chicago, Illinois on September 4, 1932. God's plans for her life began to unfold at about age 6 when she went to the altar to accept Jesus as her savior. Her mother Betty Fraser worked to provide for her as well as her sister Ruthie. Her grandparents helped raise her in the love and fear of God.Upon graduating from High School, she began work as an operator for the Pacific Telephone Co., but her desire was to be in the mission field.
At age 19 she entered a School of Evangelism and was then sent to Mexico with her friend Carmen Perez. They traveled throughout different states and shared the gospel in many villages. Upon arrival to Mexico City, she and the missionary team she worked with started a School of Evangelism and it is there that she met the one to be her future husband, Carlos Angeles.
On one assignment, they traveled to a remote village to bring the Good News. It is there that when the indigenous people discovered their message was not of Catholic origin, they were asked to remove their shoes and run for their lives. The stones began to fly with the intent to kill them, but with the Lord's intervention, they lived to tell of it.
Shortly thereafter, in 1954, they were married and continued to evangelize, have home Bible studies, and eventually founded a church "Templo Belen". This church still operates today.
The Lord blessed them with 6 children, and in 1970, the family relocated to the U.S. After raising their children, they moved to a senior community where they led Sunday Chapel services in the recreation hall.
Frances never wavered from her desire to share the Good News. Whether we knew her as Mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, cousin, or friend, we are blessed to have shared in her life and in her love.
She leaves behind a truly powerful testimony for the Glory of God.
Frances is survived by her 6 children, along with her sister Ruth Cione. She was blessed with 12 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and many extended family members."
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved his appearing." II Timothy 4:7&8
