Fran was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother who treasured her family and times together. She loved reading, doing word searches, watching Pittsburgh Pirates baseball, and most of all being in the kitchen cooking and baking for family and friends. Many people called her “grandma” and she was an inspiration to many as she demonstrated a strong faith in Christ her Lord and Savior. Fran served on many school and church boards, assisted Lee in managing Beaumont’s Garage in Brookside for many years, worked as a receptionist at Erie Kahkwa Club and retired from Cohen Auto Parts in Erie. She was a past member of the Brush Run United Methodist Church and a twenty year member of the Chippewa United Methodist Church.
