Frances lived her life to the fullest. She loved to sing and dance. She was the best cook who always made sure that all who entered her home left with full bellies. Lifetime and Hallmark movies were her absolute favorite. She never failed to phone her loved ones as often as she could. All of this said, her time with her family was loved most of all. She spent time with her grandchildren watching movies and figure skating and making photo albums and arts and crafts. She loved to share stories about her life. She was the Godmother of seven children whom she loved very much.
