She loved Church and her relationship with God was of the utmost importance to her. She was a member of the St. Margaret’s Women’s Club. Frances was incredibly talented at crochet and crafts and would often volunteer to be the “crochet lady” for fund raisers at St. Margaret’s Church and St. Patrick’s Church, often times making blankets for them to sell.

Frances’ family would like to take the opportunity to give genuine thanks to the wonderful and caring staff at Inspira Medical Center in Woodbury, NJ for the love and care that they gave.
