Frances Matthews Obituary
Frani has many fond memories growing up in Allentown, NJ and living in Hamilton, NJ. Frani worked many happy years at GC Murphys at the Independence Mall and Acme Markets. She was an avid Nascar and country music fan and loved her blue Camaro and Blazer. Frani loved and was especially proud of all of her children and grandchildren.
Frani is predeceased by her husband Edward J. Matthews and her parents Louis Ottavi and Frances Dimmick.
Frani is survived by her sons Edward Matthews and Adam Matthews and his wife Lindy, her sister Vicki Carr Laurita and her husband Paul Laurita, her brother Scott Dimmick and his wife Mary, her granddaughters Marissa and Danica Young and their mother Radine Young, her grandsons Kyle Matthews and his mother Lisa Carr, Jace Matthews and Luke Matthews, her nephews Shawn Carr, Scott Dimmick and Keith Dimmick, her aunts Rose Pinizzotto and Connie Gentili as well as many cousins and friends.
The family would like to thank the staff at Serenity Hospice for their kindness during this difficult time.
Burial services will be private.

I had the honor of being one of Frani's regular nurses before she went to Serenity hospice. It was such a blessing crossing paths with this woman and helping her sons navigate a new norm. I miss her dearly and send my love to her children. Adam and Eddy, you two were amazing sons to her she never stopped talking about you two and you did right by her in her last days.

Frani and I were next door neighbors for quite a few years. Our two sons (Eddy and my son Carl) became best of friends during those years. We shared many memories!
