She was a graduate of the former West Scranton Catholic High School and went on to attend East Stroudsburg University. Upon her entrance into the workforce Fran held managerial positions in sales development and corporate sales for both the Sears Corporation as well as Caesars in their Pocono division.

After retirement, Fran volunteered her time generously with both the Wayne County Senior Citizen Center as well as the IHM Center to help care for The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Fran had deep religious faith and was a devoted parishioner of the St Thomas More St Mary's Parish Community and was active in many of the church's organizations.

Fran was an avid sports enthusiast who found great joy in following and cheering on her favorite teams. She especially enjoyed watching Notre Dame football, proudly supporting the Fighting Irish and sharing in the excitement of each game. Her passion for sports was just one of the many things that brought her happiness and gave her opportunities to connect with family and friends.
