What a special friend you were.
Our first memories of Fran are as a den mother for our son.
Later, we met again at Conestoga Country Club where we played many rounds of golf and had August trips together with the group of 16.
What a lovely family. We loved keeping up with them and thier many successes. 
Connie and Betty Holmes will fondly remember lunch with Fran this past October to celebrate her 83rd birthday.

I can’t believe that she is gone!  She seemed to have “8 lives” and survived all her set backs.  I was just thinking of her this week as I was looking at slides taken of our Indonesian trip together in 1996.  Traveling and golf were activities that we both enjoyed.  Pease accept my condolences and know that her peronality will be remembered by all of her family members and her vast number of friends.   Shirley H.

Frances was such a joy to be of service to!  I enjoyed our time together even if at times was very short due to our crazy floor!  She loved to share stories about her family and how much she loved her family.  May your family find peace in knowing that Frances is at peace now!  Prayers to your family at this time of loss❤️
 
Sincerely,
Kelly Ninos LPN
