Her faith in the Lord was steadfast. Frances knew the good news and wanted to share it with everyone. She was devoted to the Blessed Mother; not only did Frances say the Rosary, but she made them also. She loved to cook; Pork Chops and Sauerkraut, Liver and Onions, and Galumpkis. She spent much of her time doing work for others: Frances volunteered at nursing homes and cared for the elderly in their homes.
She met the late Joseph through a friend. Before meeting in person, they exchanged letters while he was in the military. It lead to their nuptials.
She is survived by her daughters, Gloria, Pam (Scott), Joann (Ray), Fran (Brian), and Ann (John); her grandchildren, Jenn, Kelley, Jesse, Laura, Maria, Ray J., Brian, Aubrie, Michelle, Megan, Tamara, John, and Joe; and her great-grandchildren, Owen, Kylie, Nora, Ayla, Mya, Olivia, Mason, Aiden, Greyson, June, Liam, and Addelaide. She was preceded in death by her son, Joey; and son-in-law, Tom. She also is survived by her friend, Dona, who was more like a daughter.
Come celebrate 81 blessed years with Mass of Christian Burial 10:30 a.m. Thursday, at Sacred Heart Church, Mount Holly. Interment will be in St. Peter’s Cemetery, Riverside.
Donations to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital (stjude.org) will be appreciated.

Aunt Fran was great person always happy and very nice person I remember when my Mom would take me over hang out with my cousin . she was always cooking and loving person will be miss. sorry for your loss you lost a great mother but she will always be in your heart . God bless all the family.
I read the obituary about the loss of your loved one and I
extend my sincere condolences.
Death is truly an enemy but there is comfort in the Bible
that “God will actually swallow up death forever and
certainly wipe the tears from all faces.” Isaiah 25:8
Hold onto the beautiful memories of Frances and continue
to have the love and support from family and friends.
