Francine Deitsch Obituary

Visit the Lensing Funeral & Cremation Service - Iowa City website to view the full obituary.
Francine Marilyn "Franny" Deitsch or the Queen, which was her preferred title, was born in New Jersey on September 28, 1948. She traveled and lived across the United States. She was a resident of Lantern Park Nursing and Rehab Center in Coralville since January 28, 2005. She was known to take pride in her appearance and preferred bright red lipstick. She loved art and made many "masterpieces" that she shared with others. She lived in her own little world of delusions. Thank you to all that treated her with dignity and respect despite her grandiose delusions.

A graveside committal service will be held on Tuesday, February 3, 2026 at 2 PM at Agudas Achim Cemetery. Rabbi Jeff Portman will officiate. Following the committal, friends are welcome to a tea at Lantern Park Care Center from 3 PM to 4 PM.
