I’ll never forget my first birthday cake from you. You taught me a lot, I’ll miss, stopping and seeing you, and bringing you your cookies. Love you for ever . Love you Sheila
Rod, Jody and families, My condolences to everyone as farewells are said to Fran. I hadn’t seen her or talked with her for years but Sr Mary Kay did and kept me informed throughout Fran’s life. I remember her fondly in my memories. I hope you all reflect on your own good times with her and find comfort in those memories.
Reading this obituary shows what an impact this one lady had on the world. First as a mother caring for her family and working hard on the farm, then as a nurse caring for people in need, and as the caring matriarch of a large family of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A beautiful legacy!
May your memories keep her spirit alive in your hearts!
