I am heartbroken to learn the sad news of Francene's passing. I cherish the memories of fun times we shared as classmates at Roosevelt Jr. High and Stephen Decatur High Schools. Francene had an exceptional kind and loving spirit. Heaven gained a beautiful Angel. My prayers for Steve and family.

I worked with Fran at St Mary´s Hospital. She was such a special caring person.
I loved that she kept a group of retired nurses connected by organizing lunch get togethers.
My heartfelt sympathy to her family. She always talked of them with such love and passion.
