Fran worked in the Shawnee Mission School District for twenty-six years as secretary at Cherokee Elementary School until her retirement in 1981. Subsequent to 1981 she worked as an admitting clerk at the Shawnee Mission Medical Center retiring on the occasion of her 70th birthday.
In addition to her two children, William and Robert of Overland Park she has 6 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Fran was a loving, hard working woman that prevailed over much adversity. Always a devoted mother, she practiced unconditional love for her family, always supported with advice and council when asked, but never one to pry.
The family would like to thank the staff at Hillside Village Nursing Home in De Soto, KS for their efforts the past several years at providing compassionate care.
The family suggests that instead of flowers donations be made to the Alzheimer?s Foundation of America, 322 Eighth Ave, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10001.
