Teaching was a passion for Frances, and she felt honored to be an important part of her students' lives. It wasn't only her family and friends that loved her, but also the hundreds of students that she had the opportunity to teach and mentor. She taught her family and friends many things as well. She taught us to love by seeing her be a wonderful wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and friend. Everyone who knew her was blessed to have Frankie in their lives. Frankie cherished everyone and in turn it was easy for others to cherish her. She was sweet, kind-hearted, patient, and selfless.
