She excelled in school, enjoyed violin lessons, played with her high school orchestra, participated in the drama and gymnastic clubs. Frances was the valedictorian of her high school graduation class. She went on to study at the University of Wisconsin where she met her husband, Laurence Weinstein.

Frances was a generous supporter of the above mention organizations and the arts. Frances and Laurence enjoyed traveling the world together and went on many exceptional vacations to Europe, Israel, Antarctica, and Africa. She had many friends and admirers and enjoyed forming friendships with people of all generations. Her wide, welcoming smile is remembered by all who knew her.
