FRANCES JEANETTE BARRECA (nee Bailey) age 95, beloved wife of the late Anthony J.

Formerly of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Frances (Jean) resided in Newbury, Ohio. She was born December 21, 1928 in Rostraver, Pennsylvania and passed away on July 12, 2024. Frances loved spending time with family and friends. Known for her cheerful attitude with a smile, everyone who knew her loved her. In her later years, she cared for the elderly and sick in their homes. She found personal fulfillment helping others, especially those in need. A dog lover at heart, she would care for many animals, providing them with food and shelter. Frances dedicated her life to her family. She will be remembered for her kind spirit, warmth, generosity, strength, and for always being there with a listening ear and words of wisdom, "this too shall pass".
