Frances Ann Leistikow

Fran was simply amazing. Extremely personable, well loved, dedicated mother, friend, colleague - just down right genuine person! It is an honor to have known and worked with her.

My sister, Ruth, and I were really sad to hear of Fran's passing. I really loved Fran. She was always so upbeat and fun to talk to at family gatherings. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Fran always was there to help with a big smile and a big hug. We talked a lot about her travels and the boys and her daughter. I know we will all miss her but will remember her with a smile. Fran was a great lady.

I remember the first time I showed up as a green instructor at continuing challenge way back in 1993. On class day, your smile was one of the first things that lighted up my day. You calmly showed me ropes, as I now know that you extend to each and every instructor and committee member. It was your smile, friendliness, and overwhelming enthusiasm that kept me coming back and wanting to contribute. I know that this is true for many, many, many other instructors. Thanks for being my friend...

Fran was one of those people that you like instantly the minute you meet them. She was kind, loving, witty and always willing to lend a hand for whatever needed doing. Jennifer, Michael & James--she loved each of you so much and she always will. Keep her memory with you the rest of your lives.
