Read MoreAunt Frances was there to hold me as a new born coming into this world, Fran and her family were adopted by ours and were a big part of our lives thru these many years. That part of our lives fades to distant memories. God be with you Aunt Frances to journeys end.

Fran was one of my favorite teachers at Caledonia. She taught the very first "Psychology" class there my Senior year. Her experience as a police officer brought such life and interesting analogies to the class. She was such an inspiration and spoiled me for future teachers that could have learned so much from her. I had the privilege of being able to visit with her in the last few years.....wish I would have done it more. You will be missed greatly, Miss Newby. Thank you for being such...
