Fran and Red moved with their young family from Chicago to Elk Grove Village living there for
almost 50 years while also becoming part-time residents of the Isles of Capri where they
excelled at bowling and bocce and hosted countless holidays and spaghetti dinners. They
loved family and friends, music and dancing. After Red’s death she became a full-time resident
of the Isles where she continued to live life to the fullest and never turned down an invitation to
a party or an opportunity to dance.
A memorial is being planned for Spring of 2022.
Memoriams can be sent to her favorite charity – St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital

I’ve thought of Fran so many times since she moved to Florida. We talked a couple of times, but not enough. She became a real friend especially when my mom passed away only a year after John. I helped her when she had impromptu garage sales. We would go back and forth and have a glass or two of wine we talked and laughed. Fran told stories about John and her kids growing up. We went out to dinner a few times and had a drink. She taught me once to make meatballs, I never got the hang of it! I feel so bad that I hadn’t talked with her in a while. She will be missed by her many Elk Grove friends.

It is great sadness that we have lost Fran. Lorne and I shared many a memory of our visits to Florida, and Fran sure was one of the top ones that filled our hearts each visit. Hope that Fran and Lorne get together in heaven and that we all gather once again one day. Rest in peace, Fran, and thanks for the memories.

Who could ask for a better friend. We met Fran at Tarpon Village in 2011 and spent 3 months of the year being with her. We went lots of places together and played many bocce games. In the winter we phoned and sent cards to keep in touch we were never further than the phone. We had many great talks , danced and laughed alot . We had a garage sale at Tarpon together and I got to sleep over first person ever in her bed other than RED. We laughed for a long time about that.
Memories we hold close to our hearts forever . Sue , Don and family and Vic we met him , Fran always saved Lynn a cigar from Vic. Our most heartfelt condolences. PEACE BE WITH YOU from Mary Ann and Lynn

Gregory and I remember Fran as a warm, kind, and caring person. She was fun, too! It was always a joy to see her when she visited from Florida. She especially loved to visit with Danah, JR, and the kids. It was obvious she loved them very much. May she rest in peace.
