As a wife, Frances (Fran) was a homemaker, always caring for the needs of her husband and children. Fran loved to dance with her husband & work Bingo at St. Bridget, where she was a member for over 50 years with her husband. Fran loved her children dearly and would do anything for them, even when life became hard. As her children became adults, Fran took on a part- time job in merchandising, yet her greatest joy was to spend time with her family and nothing was more important to her than them. Fran always looked out for the wellbeing of her family, more than her own. In her later days, she enjoyed waking up to her granddaughter, Alivia, who always brought a smile to her face. After a short battle, following a stroke, Fran went home to be with the LORD on Sunday July 16 th , she will be dearly missed by all.
