Fianna worked outside of our home, making us the first Latchkey kids on the block, as a typist with Dodge Manufacturing and Bendix Missile Plant in Mishawaka. She retired as loyal employee of Indiana Bell Telephone. A monthly pension paid her $117. Her AT&T landline cost was $90. THANKS MA BELL!

The last nine and a half years of Fianna's life were spent in the care of the staff at St. Paul's. We are grateful for the care and compassion exhibited by the Staff and Community at St. Paul's towards Fianna and her family. Especially, in the last few weeks of her life.

Additionally, we are grateful for the services and care provided by Caring Cove Hospice. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Caring Cove Hospice so they can continue their services.

No viewing will take place. Private family burial and service will be held at Fairview Cemetery, in Mishawaka, where Fianna will be laid to eternal rest with her Husband, Noel Dean.
