Our deepest condolences to all of Fran's family. I knew her best when she was in charge of the 2nd floor at the Smiths Falls Hospital. She was a wonderful mentor to my co-op students from SFDCI. Fran was very caring when it was time for my mother-in-law to leave the hospital and move to a nursing home. Hold all your memories tight. Gail and Jim Graff

Fran was our next door neighbour for 3 years this May2026. She never ever complained to us but we did have a little dog that loved to bark. She would always say leave him alone Sharon , he is a great watch dog and loves to talk. She truly was the best neighbour with an always smile. Strader family remember we hold her in highest esteem , you have our deepest sympathy . Sharon Knutsen and Don Grenville. Apt 312

My condolences to Fran's family. She was such a special person will be missed a lot by me. She got involved in many things here at the Meadows Apartment. Coffee hour, special afternoon music, euchre, special monthly luncheons and she joined a few of us for WASA luncheons in Westport with speakers relating to senior needs. She was stubborn and determined.
Rest in piece my friend.

3.5 years ago I met Fran and she stole my heart with her stories about her family, grandchildren, the cottage, picking raspberries at the farm, her storage of all her wood working tools, going to nursing reunions, her PEP classes and so much more. We talked about decorating with white and how the pillows brought the colour in and special soaps. She was a precious soul. I will miss you Fran. You were one special lady. Our condolences to the family! May you rest in peace Fran. You have lived a full
Life! ❤️

John and I send our heartfelt condolences to Fran’s beloved family. She was a much-cherished member of the Meadows community. Smiling, quick and upbeat, she was always pleasant to talk with, eager to learn, and seemed to approach life’s challenges with positivity and determination. She will be deeply missed.

We are so saddened to hear of Fran’ passing, it has left a large void in our Meadows community. We first met Fran when we moved into the same building & she was a real delight. She was very social & was a part of our coffee hour, happy hour, euchre night, music afternoons & she will be truly missed. She always entered a room with a big smile & proudly showed some of her talented accomplishments whenever we would drop in. . We feel like we almost know her family as she often spoke so fondly of all of you. She fought many challenges with determination & we admired her for that.
RIP Fran, we miss you
