Thank you for being an extension of my family and an enduring source of vitality and wit. You are missed by many who are grateful for your presence in their lives. With love to the entire family, Kelly
I became Frances's daughter-in-law in 1963 when I was 17, a very young 17. Her wisdom guided me when I had no wisdom of my own. Her generosity knew no bounds. She provided for my children and myself all that I could not afford. Her kindness and that of Aunt Kay and Carol & Tim showed itself every day in so many ways. I always thought I would care for her in her old age, but God had other plans. Now that she is in heaven, she finally knows the depth of my love and gratitude. I loved her laughter. I can still hear her. I'll close with a story, and perhaps you'll hear her too. She called me one day and told me she didn't think I should allow Denise to play with this little boy Jimmy, and that he was bad, he hit her and played in the street, etc., etc. When she was done, I said "Mom, he's make pretend, and so is Billy" (another playmate she'd heard about). She didn't say anything for a moment, then "WHAAAT!!!!" She laughed so hard for so long, and I'm sure she laughed every time she told the story to others. Hers was such a valuable life.
I have had the pleasure of knowing “Grandmom Fran” and her family for 17 years especially Sue, Denise and Sue. She was a beautiful, giving and thoughtful person and we always had lovely chats. She was beloved by all who knew her. She will be missed but her beautiful spirit will live on in her wonderful family. Love you “Grandmom” and much love and sympathy to her family.

Aunt Fran has always been an inspiration with her strength and generosity. I remember visiting her and Aunt Kay when we were kids. I loved the swing set! I miss her so much. I know she had a great reunion with Mom and Dad and Grandmom. Love you Aunt Fran! 🕯️️❤️
