1937 in Chicago to
Thomas and Mary (nee

passed away from
lung cancer on
September 4, 2008 in

seven children.
Fran, a domestic
engineer, brought so
much joy to those
who had the
privilege of knowing
her. She was a
beautiful lady on
the inside and out.
She always put her
family first and
taught her children
the power of
unconditional love.
Her greatest joy was
being a grandmother
and was known to her
grandchildren as
Franma.
She enjoyed Monday
Bridge, reading, and
always had a love
for learning. After
raising her
children, Fran
attended college and
received her AA
degree. She was a
member of St.
Scholastic Church in
Lecanto, FL and was
a lector. Prior to
