Frances served for 4 years and met the love of her life, Dan. After marriage, Frances and Dan settled in Charlton, where they raised their 4 children. Frances was a wonderful mother, truly devoting herself to her children. She worked at the Masonic Home in Charlton (after her children had grown) for over twenty years, until retirement. Frances was involved in the Helping Hand Society in Charlton for many years and was a parishioner at St. Joseph Church in Charlton. Frances’s true legacy was that of love for her family and unconditional love. Her cooking and baking skills were hard to match. Her coffee cakes, deviled eggs and banana bread will be missed. Also, the love of sending cards to everyone that touched her heart and her handwriting that no one could ever match. Mass of Christian Burial Wednesday, September 4th at St. Joseph Church, 10 H.
