Mary Frances Daniel

Mary Frances Daniel, 74, of North Little Rock, Arkansas, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family. Born on July 5, 1951, in Brownsville, Tennessee, she was the daughter of John William Noles, Jr. and Mary Katherine (Griffin) Noles. She grew up in Osceola, Arkansas, where she formed the values and work ethic that shaped the rest of her life.

Mary Frances spent the majority of her career as an administrative assistant with ACI Plastics, retiring after many years of dedicated service. She was a long-time and faithful member of Somers Avenue Church of Christ, where she built lifelong relationships and lived out her convictions with quiet consistency.

She was known for her generous spirit and a life marked by hospitality. Her home was always open, and she readily extended support to anyone who needed a place to land. She loved to crochet, and one of her greatest joys was making caps for newborns at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Mary Frances also enjoyed fishing, and one of her favorite memories was an Alaskan cruise where she had the opportunity to fish for salmon—an adventure she talked about often.

Mary Frances is survived by her husband, Kenneth Wayne Daniel; her children John Daniel (wife, Robin), Jennifer Daniel, and Joseph Daniel (wife, Bethany); and her grandchildren John David II, Joshua (wife, Stephanie), Rachel, Rebekah, Josiah, Ruth, Rose, Jeremiah, Noah, and Liam, who were a source of pride and joy to her.

She is also survived by her brother Richard Noles (wife, Cheryl) and Donna Noles, widow of her late brother Paul Noles.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Paul.

Mary Frances leaves behind a legacy of kindness, devotion, and steadfast love. Her influence endures in the family she cherished and the many lives she touched through her generosity and service.
