Frances Mary Harris (née Jackson), aged 77, passed away on November 22, 2024, in Stratford, New Jersey. Born in Philadelphia, she was a cherished member of her community and a dedicated employee at the State of New Jersey Child Support office.

Frances attended St. Hugh of Cluny for her primary education followed by Kensington High School, laying a strong foundation for her commitment to public service. Her career was marked by a profound dedication to assisting families, a testament to her compassion and empathy.
