Frances was a graduate of Nazareth Academy, class of 1950. 

She worked and volunteered at several jobs, including Lincoln’s department store and Le Chase construction as a secretary.  She was a stay at home mom, and then volunteered in the Hilton School District in the remedial reading section.  She then worked for the Greece Central School district as an aide in the psychology department, and the Town of Greece in the Tax collector’s office.

She had a strong devotion for her children and grandchildren.  She loved her husband, Eugene, for 69 years and her husband loved her with unwavering devotion. Frances made a lot of friends along the way and never had a bad word to say about anybody. She only saw the good in people. She will be sorely missed by all that knew her.
