Frances Duncan Obituary
Frances (Fran) was born in Chickasha, OK to the late Frank F. Frey and Wilma Rose Frey. She was raised in Chickasha, OK and graduated from St. Joseph's Academy in 1957. She graduated from Benedictine Heights College (a two-year college) in Tulsa, OK in 1959 and later attended the Oklahoma College for Women in Chickasha, OK. In April of 1960, she married Thomas (Tom) Duncan and together they and their four children moved often during his Naval career.
Fran Duncan was a beautiful woman in all ways. She was a devoted mother and a loving wife. She raised their four children: Sandy, Julie, Nancy, and David during Tom's many long periods away from home on Navy deployments. And when her children had their own children, she was the Grammy that was always there. She made holidays special and everyone loved her sandwiches and baked goods. For her children and grandchildren, she was always there for their athletic, musical, and theatrical events. She will be missed!
She is preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Wilma Rose Frey, her sister Phyllis Phillips, brother Dennis Frey and daughter Julie Pooley.
Survivors include her husband of 63 years, Thomas Duncan of Ashburn, VA; daughters and sons-in-law, Sandra and Malcolm Hodge of Portland, OR, Nancy and Paul Mamros of Reston, VA; son and daughter-in-law David and Mary Lynne Duncan of Herndon, VA, and son-in law Jack Pooley of Sterling, VA, plus eight grandchildren.
Visitation will be held at the Loudoun Funeral Chapel in Leesburg, VA on Thursday, July 27th from 6:00 until 8:00 pm. A Funeral Mass will be held at Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church in Potomac Falls, VA on Friday, July 28th at 11:00 with interment to follow at the St. John the Apostle Catholic Cemetery in Leesburg, VA.
