Olga Frances Kane

Olga Frances Kane Lansing Formerly of Algonac, MI Olga Frances Gardner Kane, age 88, died peacefully in her sleep early Sunday morning, June 20, 2010. Frances was born April 25, 1922 in Detroit, and grew up in Port Huron, Michigan. She was a licensed practical nurse and contributed to America's WWII war effort working in a defense plant near Detroit. Frances married John Cotter Kane of Lansing in 1943, and they lived in Algonac prior to moving to Lansing, Michigan. Those who knew her will remember her spirit, her affection, the traditions she established for family and friends, and her wonderful cooking! We remember early days in Algonac, vacations in Port Huron, happy days with many family members in Lansing, and after John's death, her enjoyment living at the Marquette in East Lansing. The family wishes to express their gratitude for her care at Heartland HCC in Ionia and Ingham County Medical Care Facility in Okemos. She was a devoted mother and wife who will be greatly missed. She was preceded in death by her husband John; her sister, Mrs. Stephanie Richards; and her brother John Postalka. She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Anne Dubois, of Agoura, California; four daughters, Christine, of Atlanta, Georgia, Mary of DeWitt and Atlanta, Constance Witherspoon, of DeWitt, and Patricia, of Haslett; two grandsons, John Witherspoon and his wife Melissa of Kennesaw, Georgia, and Patrick Witherspoon of San Diego, California; brother-in-law Vito Lilla and sister-in-law Frances Francis, both of Lansing, and sister-in-law Jeanette Postalka of Marine City, as well as many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. Services will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Ingham County Animal Control, 600 Curtis Rd, Mason, MI 48854 in memory of Frances.
