Publish in a newspaper
Francine was a matriarch in the true sense of the word. She was a teacher professionally until she retired from Columbus Public Schools teaching elementary education and children with learning differences.
She along with her dear friend Gwen Schwartz z"l served the community with a kosher pastry catering business Balabusta Bakers for many years. She spent years of service to Agudas Achim Youth and Sisterhood as well as the American Culinary Federation both locally and nationally. Francine loved nothing more than for her family to be together whenever and wherever it was possible.
