Frances grew up in Philadelphia and was a long-time resident in Haddon Heights, where she was very involved in the community.  She worked as a registered nurse for 30 years at Kennedy Health System in Cherry Hill.  In her free-time, she enjoyed travel, reading, and spending time down the shore, cherishing her time spent with family and friends.  She was full of fun and had a real love of life and people.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend her viewing on Saturday, July 20, 2024, 9 AM to 11 AM at the FOSTER-WARNE FUNERAL HOME, 250 White Horse Pike, Audubon, NJ.  A time of sharing and remembrance will follow at 11AM.  Interment private.
