Great-grandmother of seventeen. Fran was from New York City where she met her beloved husband Jim before moving to Vineland to raise their three children. In later years, she enjoyed traveling, spending time at the shore, and conversing with friends and family over a cup of tea to find out "what's new". She was a masterful cook who loved doing so for all who walked through the door. Fran's friendship was valued by many. We are thankful and blessed to have just celebrated her 100th birthday with her as she was loved so much.
