One of Fran’s favorite events were her class reunions in Brewton. She dearly loved attending these reunions until she became too ill to travel and visit her dear friends.

With Carmen, she would go on a trip and sing “Little Bunny Foo Foo.” She loved to attend Dru and John’s concerts and was proud that each of them played an instrument.
Complaining wasn’t part of Fran’s personality, she always had a smile, and a good attitude. Her strong and positive outlook helped anyone and everyone who was blessed to know her. She was strong in her faith and loved the Lord.
