AGE: 79 • Hamilton
Frances D. Bucich, 79, of Hamilton, NJ, entered into eternal rest peacefully in her home after a brief illness on January 23, 2016, with her loving family at her side. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, she resided in Howell for 45 years before moving to Hamilton in 2014. A stay-at-home Mom and later, a bookkeeper, Frances' greatest joy was her family. Especially dear to her was the time spent with her grandchildren.

Frances is survived by her loving husband of 54 years, Joseph and loving children: daughter, Lori Ann and son-in-law Paul La Plante, and son, Joseph, Jr. and daughter-in-law, Susan Purcell, and seven grandchildren who adored her. Also surviving are brothers-in-law, Frank Jr., Robert (Rose) Bucich and sisters-in-law, Eleanor and Marilyn (Tom Byrnes) Bucich. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews and their children and grandchildren. Frances cherished the time with Eileen and Jeff Wechter and their family, who were among her many dear friends.
