Frances A. Bohne Obituary
Mrs. Bohne was a 54 year resident of Salem. She owned and operated the Green Barn Restaurant with her husband William from 1969 to 2004. She loved people and loved her job as hostess for the restaurant. Mrs. Bohne was a bubbly, loving, caring, outgoing, social woman who could be a joker at times as well. She was compassionately a very generous woman who gave everything she could to others and mentored others as well. It was never about her, always about everyone else, a great quality for a loving wife and mother to have.
She is survived by her husband of 51 years; William A. Bohne of Salem, two sons; Gus Bohne and his wife Terri of Salem and Carl Bohne and his wife Margaret of Atkinson, NH. She is also survived by numerous loving grandchildren, great grandchildren, a great-great grandchild, nieces, nephews and cousins. She was predeceased by two brothers.

My deepest sympathy and condolences to Bill and his family. I will always be indebted to Bill and Frances for many years of employment at the Green Barn during my high school and college years. I would not have been able to afford college without their kindness and support. May Frances rest in peace in God's eternal grace.

Frances, my good friend and mentor was a woman of character and conviction. Her bark was loud, her bite ever so gentle. She was kindhearted to all and loyal as well; especially to those near and dear.... we have lost one of the GREATEST women Salem has ever known! Her memories will live on forever. God bless you Bill, Carl and Gus. May you share many loving memories and laughs as well.
