Marion Francis

Dear Andrea, Nowell, Mark, and Gael,
My sincere condolences on the loss of your mother. She was a grand lady and such a good friend to my mother. I remember both Sunny and Mickey fondly.
The photo is from 2017 when my husband, Sten, was playing in Whitinsville with Chuck and Mud.
I will let my siblings know of her passing.
Love
Liz (Dzaugis) Gustavson

Dear Mark and family,
Your Mom was beautiful and it sounds like she was quite the personality. You were fortunate to have enjoyed her long and happy life. No matter the age, it´s always hard to say goodbye to Mom. Our hearts and prayers for comfort and peace are with you all.
Kathy and Fred Munday

Mark, Gael and family, I just heard of the passing of your mom. I remember her as a kind woman. Prayers to all at this time of grief. God Bless.

I have heard it said that one way to measure a person´s life is to look at their children; if we use that as the measuring stick then Marion lived a great life. I was fortunate enough to be friends with Nowell and Andrea in school, and to see Mark and Gael also grow as younger siblings. Marion and Paul were four for four. Their love for them; which has now been passed on to their grandchildren and great grandchildren, has made this world a better place. I was fortunate enough to see Marion many years later (of course she was volunteering with the Women´s Club) and she remembered me like it was yesterday, asking about my family and so forth. Sharing stories about her grandchildren (never about herself and all that she was doing.) This is who she was, and while she will be dearly missed, her life has been transformed to those who were willing to accept her love. Be well with Paul in paradise, he can smile now that you are together again. With God´s blessing. Dave Loeper

Some people you like immediately and Mrs. Francis was one of them. The world could use more Marion Francises, but there are only so many saints to go around.

Wonderful memories of our trips to visit Marion´s cousin, Colleen Bixler, my aunt.
They were only days apart in age, and enjoyed reminiscing about Maine and family. Sunny was always there as the copilot .
