Francie and her husband lived in Asia, Africa and Europe, always returning to their home in Washington between tours abroad. She was a teacher, three-time published author, restorer of classic books and was the Executive Director of the Foreign Student Service Council. A person of great faith, Francie was very active in her church. She loved her family, friends and, above all, God.
