Frances T. Siko
Of Dunnellon, FL

Frances T. Siko was born on August 23, 1937 in Chicago to Thomas and Mary (nee Collins) Clancy. She passed away from lung cancer on September 4, 2008 in Inverness, FL surrounded by her 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 moving to Florida with her husband and family, they lived for many years in Buffalo Grove, IL and were members of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Buffalo Grove.
