Frances A. York

Frances A. (Gilberto) "Fran" York, of Weymouth, passed away on January 20, 2014 after a long bout with cancer, at home with her husband by her side. Fran worked in the Weymouth Public School system for over 14 years. She had a love for children that grew into a relationship that was more like mother to all those she cared for. Fran enjoyed her annual winter trips to Marco Island, FL relaxing on the beach with a book in her hand. Her greatest joy was the comfort of spending time with her family. She had a contagious laugh and a gifted hand in the kitchen. She will be sorely missed. Beloved wife of David York of Weymouth. Loving mother of Michael York and his wife Dani of Brooklyn, NY, Mark York of Quincy and Andrea York of Weymouth. Cherished daughter of Anna Gilberto (Vella) of Braintree and the late James Gilberto.
