FRAN GLOGER

Fran Gloger  
With love and sadness, we acknowledge the passing of Fran Levin Gloger, 61, of 10310 Conniston Court, Potomac, Maryland. Fran passed away at John Hopkins University Hospital on October 9, 2021 at approximately 4 P.M., surrounded by her husband, children, parents, sisters and their families. When Fran graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition, her mission became to help others find and eat healthy foods. Fran loved people and along with her exuberant, affectionate spirit, she was in many ways a healer and a guide from whom friends and family sought advice. Fran was born on February 26, 1960 in Philadelphia, PA, the middle daughter of Edward and Marilyn Levin. While an advocate of good food choices all her life, she enjoyed wide-ranging interests and occupations. She owned a drapery studio, a flower business, an import-export native-American jewelry business in Santa Fe, and became a successful real estate entrepreneur. An avid gardener, she grew much of the organic produce she ate and served her family and friends in her large backyard garden. She enjoyed golf, canasta, yoga, reading, camping, fishing, and traveling. She is survived by her beloved husband Mark, a gastroenterologist and someone whose interest in healing people supported her own, and their children Ben, Matt, and Jessie, for whom in the words of her daughter Jessie, Fran orchestrated "every day like a celebration," her parents, siblings Harriet Millan and Cheryl Levin and their children and spouses, and Gloger family. The funeral took place Monday, October 11 at 1:30 P.M. at Congregation B'nai Tzedek, 10621 Glen Road, Potomac, Maryland 20854. A graveside burial followed, open to all. Friends and family are invited to attend Shiva at 7 p.m. at B'nai at Tzedek and Tuesday, October 12 at 6:30 p.m. at Lakewood Country Club, 13901 Glen Mill Rd, Rockville, MD 20850.
