Fran was awesome to play softball with and had the opportunity to work on 6North with her too! That was nice surprise to see a familiar face. She ran the unit! Friendly, reliable, love of God and Family...especially Frieda.

Fran was exceptionally talented in her role at the hospital. She was knowledgeable and had a love for children. She touched many people throughout her career. Always a good day when Fran was working in the holding area! Frieda, she spoke of you frequently and her love for you was evident. I´m so sorry for your loss and that of your entire family.

It was my pleasure to work with Fran for many years in Butterworth Surgery. She was well loved. Quiet,unassuming and faithful to her job. We talked often of the beginning of her health issues. Frida was often in our conversation. Frida I´m sorry for your loss. Being in Fl I´ll miss her service. My thoughts and prayers to the family.
