Orderly Places

When Mary Frances’s mother told her to clean up her room, she could have never imagined it would lead to her becoming a professional organizer.  But that is exactly what happened.  It did take a few more lessons, many more years and considerable metamorphosis but today she is living proof of the power of a mother’s persuasion. As a professional organizer, Mary Frances owns Orderly Places a business whose mission is to encourage, assist and educate others in organizing solutions.  She is a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers, the National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization and Faithful Organizers As a public speaker she presents programs and workshops to business, professional and clubs and community organizations with humor and practical applications that even a spouse can understand.  Using her experiences as a classroom teacher, wife, mother and grandmother, she appeals to all age groups, sexes and occupations. Mary Frances is a Newport News, Virginia native and a graduate of James Madison University with degrees in Home Economics and Education.  In her leisure time, she is a quilter and has written and led Bible Studies.  She and her husband, Eddie, live in Newport News with their border collie, Kasey.
