Francia Eckert

Francia was one of the kindest, most loving individuals with whom I worked and called friend! Her love of family, children, friends was paramount in her life.

Francia was a talented artist and great friend. I have many fond memories of times spent together. There is hardly a day that goes by that I don't think of her as she wove a beautiful tapestry that hangs in my entryway. Each time I pass it by, I smile and remember our times together. She will be missed by all who knew her.

One of the most thoughtful ladies one could know. So loved the children. Great coworker, card club buddy, and friend. Would give up everything for others.

Francia and I shared a love of art and supported one another on our long treks to the University of Toledo after teaching all day to obtain an M.Ed. in art education. I´ll always be thankful for the camaraderie that made the difficulties easier. My condolences to her family.

Francia and I have been friends and education colleges for many years, As the art teacher at Riley School , she enriched the lives of my class by taking them to the Toledo Art Museum. Socially we enjoyed playing in a pinocle monthly club and attending drive-in movies, shopping, and dining out. Francia will be in many fond memories of my life in Fostoria.
