Frances was not just a loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother and sister, her canvas of life was painted with an artistic touch and it reflected in every aspect of her life. Her witty, fun personality and loving nature brought joy and comfort to everyone she encountered. Kindness was not just a trait for Fran, but a lifestyle that she practiced and passed on to her family.
