Frances Virginia Cash Ledford

Frances Virginia Cash Ledford, age 93, of Demorest, passed away on Tuesday, November 18, 2025.

Mrs. Ledford was born on January 12, 1932, in Mt. Airy, to the late Ameal and Birdie Cash. She was also preceded in death by her husband of 69 years, Raymond "Red" Ledford; brothers, Tommy Cash and Ray Cash; sisters, Ruth Mealor and Bertha Green.

Mrs. Ledford worked for many years at The Northeast Georgian before retiring. Frances was a beloved member of Camp Creek Baptist Church, where her faith and warm spirit were felt by everyone who knew her. She was best known for her extraordinary cooking - a gift she shared generously with family, friends, and anyone blessed enough to sit at her table. She found joy in life’s simple, beautiful things. Frances loved working with flowers, tending to them both inside her home and out in the garden. She also enjoyed sewing, creating pieces stitched with care and thoughtfulness. Above all, her greatest joy came from her grandchildren, whom she adored deeply.
