Frances Krause
August 22, 1943 — April 25, 2008
Frances Louise (Butler) Krause passed away Friday, April 25, 2008, at the age of 64.
Born August 22, 1943, in San Francisco, CA, Frances Butler grew up and lived most of her early life in the Bay Area, raising her family in Pleasanton, CA. She married Delbert Krause in 1965, and they recently celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary on April 16. Fran loved living on the west coast and spent much of her time volunteering in schools and at local parks and nature centers.
In 1983, Fran moved with her family to Overland Park, KS. She was a kind, gentle, well-loved person who enjoyed raising her children, tending to their home and volunteering at the American Heart Association and at local churches. After she retired, she liked to spend her time playing cards with friends, learning about nature, growing plants and flowers, watching movies, reading mysteries and crime-dramas, spending time with her family and spoiling her grandchildren, who were her heart?s delight. She will be dearly missed.
Surviving Fran are: her husband, Del; her son, Alan and daughter-in-law, Sarah of Fairway, KS; her three grandchildren, Zachary, Henry and Emma; her son, Bradley and his family of Houston, TX; her sister Dorenne and husband Ron of South San Francisco, CA; and her nieces and nephews, Bobby, Brian and Kim of CA and Greg of MN.
A celebration of her life will be held at 6:00 PM, Friday, May 2, 2008 at D.W. Newcomer?s Sons Johnson County Chapel, 11200 Metcalf, Overland Park, KS. A gathering of her relatives will occur November 15, 2008, at her sister?s home in South San Francisco, CA.
Memorials may be made to the American Diabetes Association (www.diabetes.org or 1-800-DIABETES).
