FRANCES SEPULVEDA Obituary
April 6, 1924 – April 8, 2013
Resident of Cupertino, CA. Loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend to many. Frances passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her immediate family on April 8, 2013 after a brief illness. Born in East Highlands, CA to Crispin and Guadalupe Fuentes, Frances graduated from Redlands High School and married the love of her life, Carl David Sepulveda. She is survived by her beloved husband Carl of Cupertino, CA; her son Carl Sepulveda Jr. and daughter-in-law Helen Sepulveda; daughter Kathleen Sherman of Los Gatos, CA; three granddaughters and three great-grandchildren, her brother John Fuentes of Redlands and many nieces and nephews.
Frances spent most of her life in Redlands, CA. Fran and Carl moved to Pismo Beach, enjoyed a few years at Sun Lakes and finally moved to Northern California to be near their children and beloved grandchildren. Fran worked all her life striving tirelessly for the betterment of her family. She was employed many years for Union Bank and then the State of California before retiring.
Frances' generosity was evident to everyone who knew her. She loved to share her home with her family and dear friends, foreign students and those in distress who needed a home. She loved to sing and dance, encouraging everyone to join in at her parties, where she made all feel welcome. She always had a smile on her face. Her favorite motto was "I refuse to be unhappy!" Frances and Carl would have shared their 70th wedding anniversary in May.
Frances' ashes will be intered at Hillside Memorial Park Redlands in the future, together with Carl, when the time comes. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

My Nina and Nino were the BEST anyone could've asked for. They were always so gracious with their home and hosted quite a few of my birthday parties in my younger years. We loooved going up to Yucaipa and rolling down the hills. What a beautiful home they made and we were all fortunate they liked sharing it. My Nina was such an elegant woman. Always dressed to the Nines.Rest in peace, Nina. All my love, Mia

Aunt Frances was a very special person and in fact was my maiden of honor when I married. My husband and I loved her dearly and she will be missed. The love that she and Carl shared was one of a kind and very few have shared that same togetherness. I am sorry to say that I had not seen Aunt Frances or Uncle Carl in a while, but recently talked to both of them.
This couple was special and Aunt Frances was a very special, loving, caring individual who loved all and never had a bad or unkind word for anyone. SHE WILL BE MISSED!

What strikes out in my memory of my Great Aunt was her spunk. She is lively (I refuse to use the work 'was' - a passed person's spirit still lives on). She loved 'life'. She loved music, dancing..and her dry Martini's. I remember spending the night's at my aunt and uncle's home in Yucaipa...and I loved how they always made me and my sister, Janine, feel welcomed in their home. I hope I have at least a 1/4 of the spunk she seemed to always have. Aunt Frances and Uncle Carl served in my parents' wedding and I was just looking at that movie footage a few months ago....it seemed timeless.
Aunt Frances...please give my grandparents, Julian and Doris Fuentes, a huge hug for me as I miss them so; I hope you are rejoicing in your reunion with your family members who have passed before you...and once in a while, raise your Martini glass to those of us who will see you again when we meet in Heaven. You will be missed....

To my loving and lovely Aunt Frances who was always wonderful to me. As a young girl she and Uncle Carl always welcomed me into their home for holiday and summer visits. You will be missed by many. Love
