Frances was born May 18, 1932 in Zeeland, ND to Paul and Magdalena (Salwei) Jung. She was raised on a farm north of Greenway, SD. She attended a country school a half mile east of Greenway. After her eight years of education, she helped on the farm. At the age of 18, Frances moved to Aberdeen, SD and worked at various restaurants. One of the restaurants was the Harbor Café. In 1954, she married Frank Weigel, and they moved onto the Weigel Farmstead northwest of Zeeland, where they raised their children and dairy farmed until retiring in 1993. They continued to reside on the farm where Frances kept busy raising a huge garden every year.

Frances always enjoyed the spring and summer seasons because she could go outside and dig in her garden.
