Craig and I both worked with Frannie at New Hampshire Savings Bank. More than that we lived in Pittsfield. We loved bumping into Frannie as she always brought a smile to my face. Many times we would be out eating and there was Frannie! We would giggle as it appeared that she enjoyed eating out as much as we did! Going to vote was always a bit intimidating to me but when I saw Frannie all was well. She will be missed. Craig and I will miss seeing her and those times that she made us smile. Our prayers go out to her family as you go through this time of sorrow. Hold on to your memories to ease your pain. RIP Frannie!
