Francesca S. Stiller

Francesca S. Stiller, a beloved mother, wife, sister, and friend peacefully passed away on December 28, 2023 in Millville, MA at the age of 63. She was born on May 8, 1960 in London, England, and remained the cherished daughter of the late Vernon and Joyce (Yeatman) Northover.
For more than three decades, Francesca was a public servant and made invaluable contributions at the Department of Health and Human Services. Her role in human resources involved recruiting and training staff devoted to caring for the most vulnerable members of our community.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 28 years, Leonard Stiller. Francesca was a devoted wife as well as a loving mother, and her pride and joy were her children, Scott Campbell of California and Nicole Kaplan, along with her husband William, of Lincoln. Francesca's family circle included her step-mother, Dr. Lottie Taylor-Northover of New York; her brother, Vernon Northover, Jr., and his wife Marti of Maine; her sister, Vivia Northover of Florida; her sister-in-law, Susan Thompson of Westborough; her step-brother, Orville Kirkpatrick of Nevada; and her nephews, Karl Northover and his wife Sumana of Northborough, Christian Northover of Tennessee, and Steven Shur of Boston. Her absence will be deeply felt by her extended family and numerous treasured friends.
Francesca relished the simple pleasures of life, such as cooking and attending trivia nights, where her quick wit and extensive knowledge shone brightly. She loved reading, listening to music, and, most of all, dancing. Her beloved dog, Dekker, was a constant companion, and together they enjoyed many walks, outings, and trips to the dog park. Francesca also found great joy going on adventures with her daughter, Nicole.
Francesca was a devout Catholic and her exuberance, generosity, compassionate nature, thoughtfulness, and loving demeanor were a direct reflection of her deeply held beliefs. Throughout her life, she illuminated the path for others with her actions, serving as a shining example to all who knew her.
