Frances S. (nee Sica) McManus of Warwick, New York passed away on May 23, 2024. She was 64 years old.
Born in Goshen, New York on May 5, 1960, she was the daughter of Thomas P. and Frances Sica.
Frances graduated John S. Burke Catholic High School in 1978 and received her Associates in Applied Science Degree in Dental Hygiene from SUNY Orange in 1981.
She was a former member of the St. Anthony's Hospital Ladies Auxiliary, a parishioner of St. Stephen's Church, and a member of Warwick Valley Country Club.
Frances had a lust for life. She loved music (especially Tom Petty), loved to dance, and always loved a good party. You could find her at all the Warwick sidewalk sales, having dinner at the Country Club on Thursday nights, or playing dominos with her friends.
She is survived by her husband of 39 years, Robert F.; son Robert A. and his wife Michelle of Butler, New Jersey; and her grandson Sean Robert. She is also survived by her sisters, Cheryll (William) Barrett, Geraldine (Bruce) Dees, Margaret (John) Nelson, and Kathleen (Douglas) Fenniman; brothers Vincent (Kelly) Sica and Thomas (Julie) Sica; as well as many nieces and nephews, cousins, and many dear friends. Frances was predeceased by her parents and her daughter, Cassidy Frances.

Fran had the unbelievable gift of compassionate listening. She would sit and listen and make you feel so much better about things. I will miss Fran. I will miss our chats. Every time I pass by her house I am going to think of her which I do quite often pass by. May the Lord hold you in the palm of his hand Fran. Love and Unofficially and miss you.

Fran was a gentle soul who had a wonderful gift for listening. When you needed to talk she was more than happy to lend her ear and made you feel better about your troubles. I frequently pass her house and I will think of her fondly each and every time. Pay the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.

Francie was the God mother of our daughter, Kateri. When Kateri needed someone to talk to, Francie opened her heart and home to Kateri, inviting her to Warwick to spend long weekends with her. She became a good friend and second mother to Kateri. God gave Francie a generous heart and the courage to share it with others. She had a zest and joy for life, much like her Mom.
We will miss Francie, but God knew the best time to take her to Heaven .
