   Fran, St. Paul - Ramsey County Public Health will never be the same without you. I will miss the smiles, the wise cracks, and I will especially miss hearing about your weight loss accomplishments and getting to see you beam with making it to your next goal!! You were a blessing and I am honored to have been able to know you!

   Fran had one of the best senses of humor I've ever had the pleasure to be around. At our Class of '72 reunions, the table where she was sitting would be full because she was so much fun to listen to. We will miss her. My sympathy to her family.

8. Rayann Dennis June 13, 2014, at 6:36am

   I meet Fran while working at the Courthouse. She always had wonderful stories and had a great wit and sense of humor. She always made my day! My condolences to all her family and friends.

9. Todd & Ann Suckow June 12, 2014, at 3:15pm

   Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time of sorrow.

    I am so sorry to have read of your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. Something that I have personally found to be of great comfort is what the Bible says at John 5:28, 29 as well as Revelation 21:4. These verses show us that soon God is going to bring about a resurrection of our loved ones as well as do away with all causes we have for suffering including sickness and death. Knowing this has always comforted me and it is my sincere hope that these thoughts comfort your family as well. Again I am so sorry for your loss.

11. Anne K. June 11, 2014, at 8:16am

    I am so sorry for your loss! I will miss greeting her at work as she walked by my office. She was always so kind. She will be missed! You are all in my prayers.

    It's been several years since I last saw Fran. I still remember the weekend car trips from Minneapolis/St. Paul to Durand. No matter which intersection she told me to turn -- left or right -- we'd somehow end up on Highway 10 East. Fran, you are now Home. Rest in Peace, my Friend.

13. Barry Schwellenbach June 10, 2014, at 4:05pm

    We grew up in the same neighborhood and it was really nice to see Fran at our class reunion two years ago. Rest in Peace

14. Linda Cox June 10, 2014, at 2:42pm

    I knew Fran from Ramsey County Vital Services - she worked in the Dept. I once worked in and she was always so nice to everybody - she will be missed

15. Ericka Minus June 10, 2014, at 12:19pm

    Fran and I would joke everyday. The last time we talked she told me to be careful on a home visit and asked me if I needed her cane to knock some people out. I will miss her.

16. Tracy Self June 10, 2014, at 9:34am

    I worked with Fran and she was such a delight! Always having something funny to say or do. She is going to be greatly missed.
    My prayers go to all her family and everyone else in her life.

17. Theresa Gunderson June 10, 2014, at 7:17am

    I already miss Fran at her 8am-10am shift at the front window at Vital Records. We always had fun and interesting conversations together. So sorry for your loss.
    R.I.P. Fran

    Franny could usually make me laugh or at the least bring a smile every day she walked by my office at work. She even found sheet music, "Leave it to Jane" that we tried to hum together. My sympathy to her family. Jane

19. Pam Wolfe June 9, 2014, at 7:17pm

    Fran you were my best friend I miss you already.

20. Mary Sonnen June 9, 2014, at 6:04pm

    I worked with Fran at Public Health. Fran was truly a memorable person! Always seemed happy and upbeat. Every time she walked past my office, we exchanged greetings. Jokingly and with her enjoyment, I called her "the Michelin woman". (She used to wear a black puffy coat to go out for a smoke.) She will be missed!

21. Karen Lee Gast June 9, 2014, at 3:49pm

    The DHS class of 1972 lost a wonderful, caring, and fun classmate. Frannie - we will miss you and your fabulous sense of humor.

22. Diane Trojack June 9, 2014, at 3:26pm

    So sorry for your loss. We also lost a great, caring and funny person. Hard to believe she won't be walking in with one of her many comments. Always something to say. Going to miss you Fran, you were great to work with. Diane

23. Rosanne Reckin June 9, 2014, at 2:50pm

    Even though I didn't meet Fran until high school, we shared some good times and lots of laughs. She will be missed. Sorry I won't be able to attend the visitation or funeral, but my thoughts and prayers are with all of Fran's family.

24. Ifrah June 9, 2014, at 1:29pm

    I was a co-worker of Fran's. Words cannot express my sorrow. Fran will be missed

25. Kathy Brenner Kranz June 9, 2014, at 1:16pm

    I'll miss all the smiles and laughter Fran and I shared remembering all the fun times we had growing up "on the hill". She will be missed. So sorry for the loss of your sister, Joan and Sharon.
