Frances 'Fran' Steiner, a beloved resident of North Brunswick, passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 21st, at the age of 80.
Fran was born and raised in New Brunswick and later resided in East Brunswick. Fran and her loving husband settled in North Brunswick to start a family. She dedicated her life to her family as a homemaker and also extended her nurturing spirit by caring for many children in her home. Fran adored all the children she cared for and cherished each one as her own. Fran also found joy in cooking, enjoyed her annual trips to Wildwood, and loved going on cruises with her husband. She had a special fondness for everything that sparkled. Above all, she treasured the time spent with her family and loved ones.
She was predeceased by her parents, Michael and Louise Smith; her granddaughter, Samantha Giannetti, in 2003; and her grandson, Michael Giannetti, Jr., in 2018.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 56 years, Norman; her son, Steven Steiner of North Brunswick; her daughters, Joanne Gaglani of Whitehouse Station and Marcie Giannetti of North Brunswick; her sister, Patricia Rupinski of Monroe; her granddaughters, Alyson Giannetti and Maya Gaglani; and many nieces and nephews.
Fran will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her warmth, kindness, love for her family, and the children she cared for will always be remembered and cherished forever.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, December 26th, from 4 to 7 PM at the Gleason Funeral Home, 1360 Hamilton Street, Somerset. Funeral services will be conducted on Friday, December 27th, at 10 AM at the Gleason Funeral Home, followed by burial at Elmwood Cemetery in North Brunswick.
