Fran Ayres Obituary
Frannie lived an extraordinary life raising 2 unruly teenage daughters on her own. She spent 35 years with the love of her life, Marx, and opened and ran a successful shop, New Stone Age, in West Hollywood for over 30 years. The shop brought such joy, as did everyone who worked there. They were her "shop family".
She was born and raised in LA with her sister Nancy by parents Toby and Sol. She was funny and creative and spent time after she closed her shop making jewelry, playing Mahjong, and searching for the best this or that.
Frannie's network of friends runs deep and she will be missed by many. She and Marx were deeply connected to the Southern California Library for Social Studies and Research. In lieu or flowers or gifts, please consider making a donation in her name to the library: https://www.socallib.org/
