Her school years laid the foundation for a life marked by resilience, warmth, and a deep commitment to those around her.

Sunny days at the lake were among her favorite moments- times filled with laughter, reflection, and connection. Whether gathered with friends, or surrounded by family, Fran's presence brought lightness and comfort to every occasion.
Her love of animals was unwavering. Her devoted dog Glory remained faithfully by her side until the very end - a testament to the bond they shared. Those who knew Fran will remember her infectious laugh that could brighten any room, as well as her strength and love she carried through life's many seasons.
