Frances "Fran" (Moore) Nutt, passed away peacefully on October 23, 2025, in Park Rapids, Mn with her family by her side.

Born on April 10, 1946, in Minneapolis, Mn, Fran was the daughter of Frank G Moore Jr, and Patricia (Glad) Moore. She grew up surrounded by family and developed a deep appreciation for nature, animals, and the simple joys of life that would remain with her throughout her years.

Fran attended Shattuck-St Mary's School, where she distinguished herself as Captain of the Wooden Soldiers Drill Team - a role that reflected her natural leadership and spirited energy. Her school years laid the foundation for a life marked by resilience, warmth, and a deep commitment to those around her. The friends that she made there were true friendships that continued throughout her life.

Fran found joy in the outdoors, and treasured time spent horseback riding with her sister. 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.

Rooted in Christian Faith, Fran lived with grace and compassion. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to share in her journey.

May her memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved her.

A devoted mother, and sister, Fran is lovingly remembered by her Children; Sarah Nutt, Molly Schumacher, and Ron (Melissa) Nutt, Her grandchildren; Alysha Nutt-Joaquin, Ryan Schumacher, Catrena (Bobby) Fish, Luke (Lexi) Schumacher, Joshua Nutt, and Kaleb Nutt, Her sister; Molly Amsberry, and brother Frank (Knute) Moore.
