Frances Ann Fitzgerald

Fran gave me my first job teaching first graders at Beardsley Elementary. She was more of a mother to the community than a principal, but she did that well, too. Fran lived a wonderful life of service, and I´m thankful our paths crossed.

Fran has been such a gift to me and those blessed to know her... Thank you for your lovely and loving leadership Fran, of gentle strength, a listening ear, kindness and authentic care. Thank you for your encouragement even in your retirement, it meant so much to me Thank you for building strong foundations for children that live on! I thank God for Fran´s beautiful life

Fran you will be missed. She was a dear friend whose radiant smile would brighten even the darkest days especially after a hard day at school. Your warmth and kindness touched so many lives, and I´ll deeply miss your presence. Rest in peace, dear friend.

More than just a close friend and school graduates, we had planned a future if possible. This is a big loss to my heart and long lasting memory. It will affect me forever. I cannot be there, but I always will be in faith.
