Frances “Fran” Faye Busby, age 76, passed away peacefully surrounded by her children and loved ones on February 27th, 2025, at the Community Hospice Bailey Family Center for Caring in St. Augustine, FL.

She was born on July 5th,1948, to Rev. Clyde and Opal Parris of Summerville, Georgia. Fran was a successful business owner and hairdresser for most of her life. A proud mother to Brent and Nicole, her most cherished title was MiMi to her 3 granddaughters Bailey, Anslee, and Carley. If Fran wasn’t busy on her feet, you could find her bathing in the sun until the sun went down, reading her favorite love story, gardening, or spending time with her family.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by brothers, Ronald “Duck” Parris, Leon Parris, and twin, Donnie Parris.

She is survived by her siblings, Cecil (Polly)Parris and Anne (Rennard)Lanier; son, Brent Busby (Lorrie Bazzell); daughter, Nicole (Patrick)Phillips; granddaughters, Bailey (Larry) Woodard, Anslee (Brandon)Alford, Carley Phillips; soon-to-be great- grandson, Braydon Alford; and several nieces and nephews. In honor of Fran’s love for life and colorful personality, we encourage you to wear bright colors.
