Frances Mary Rolkosky Tillman, age 88, of D'Iberville, Mississippi, passed away peacefully on June 30, 2026, at Greenbriar Nursing Home, surrounded by the love of her family.
Born in Biloxi, Mississippi, Frances was a lifelong resident of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. She dedicated many years of her career as an Executive Housekeeper at the Broadwater Hotel and Howard Memorial, where she was known for her strong work ethic, attention to detail, and caring spirit.
Frances found joy in life's simple pleasures. She loved playing cards, spending time at the casino, and, most importantly, being with her family. A woman of deep Catholic faith, she lived a life rooted in love, kindness, and devotion to those she cherished.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Frank H. Tillman, Sr.; her siblings, Willie Rolkosky, Stanley Rolkosky, Leo Rolkosky, Lillian Battise, and Mary Engbretson.
Frances leaves behind a loving family who will forever treasure her memory, including her children, Diane Humphrey, Frankie (Tammy) Tillman, Deborah (Glenn) Conway, Gennie Sanders, Joann Meador, Adam Tillman, Johnny Tillman, Theresa (Rocky) Migues, and Yolaine Ladner. She was the proud grandmother of 21 grandchildren and the beloved great-grandmother of 34 great-grandchildren, all of whom brought immense joy to her life.
Frances will be remembered for her unwavering love for her family, her gentle heart, and the many lives she touched through her kindness and quiet strength. Her legacy of love and devotion will continue to live on in the generations she leaves behind.
