They were looking forward to celebrating their 52nd year of marriage together.

Fran worked at the Clark Co. Nursing Home prior to her retirement for 32 years.

She took pride in her home and enjoyed gardening and spending time in her back yard. She enjoyed keeping up with family and friends on Facebook and being able to reconnect with

people from earlier years that she had lost contact with. She loved to read and traveling with Roger and with her children and their families. In the past couple of years she and Roger had

started "target shooting" and she loved to go to the local gun range.

More than anything, she loved being with her grandkids. She put them first in her life when they needed her to step up and care for them.

At her request, she has been entrusted to the care of Wilson Funeral Home in Kahoka for cremation.
