She was preceded in death by her parents, Mary and Edmund Boltezar; her grandmother, Mary Hrousky; her parents-in-law, Margaret and John Giardino; and her son-in-law, William Thomas (Tom) Thweatt.
Fran is survived by her husband of 57 years, John R. "Rick" Giardino; her daughter, Anne-Marie Thweatt; and her beloved grandsons, Emerson and Eliot.
She is also survived by her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Terry and Perry Hotzs; nieces Amanda and Brie; nephew Freddie; her lifelong friend, Gayle Johnson; and she also leaves numerous grandnieces and grandnephews.
Services will be held in Pueblo, Colorado, where Fran will be buried in the family plot.
