In her youth, she won the Spanish medal. Frances was a communicant of Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church. She enjoyed traveling and spending time with family and close friends. Fran was extremely artistic. She created wonderful figurines, dolls, crafts, oil paintings and hand painted china. She was a highly skilled baker and enjoyed gifting her loved ones with her creations especially her chocolate chip cookies. She had a great sense of humor, a sense of the ridiculousness along with a loving and caring persona which seemed to radiate around her and was contagious to all those around her. She had such a generous spirit and was always so generous with her grandchildren. No one was a stranger to her (at least until we told her she must stop picking up total strangers).
