So sorry to hear about this…she was such a good person loved working with her at Chicago are sold I’ll miss her
What a wonderful friend was Fran! I loved her stories and enthusiasm for birds! We traveled to Spring Gathering 2 years ago. The trip was even more enjoyable because Fran and I traveled together. May she rest in the arms of our wonderful Savior, Christ Jesus!
I am so sorry to hear of Fran’s passing. We at Chicago Aerosol were so very fortunate to have her work for us for over 10 years. When we started the company back in 2000, Fran was one of our first employees after working with us during the DeMert & Dougherty days. She was an excellent R&D formulating chemist and was directly responsible for growth and success of our company to what it is today. We all remember Fran for much more than her work – we remember her for her always positive attitude, warm smile and wonderful laugh. She will be missed by many and always remembered fondly. Thoughts of Fran will always bring a smile to our face!
