Devoted ‘Grammy’ to her four grandchildren Jaclyn, Danielle, Matthew and Michael. Dear sister of Maryann of Chelsea and Stephen of Maine. Also survived by many loving nieces and nephews. Frances but everyone called her Franny. Grew up in Chelsea, MA and settled in Arlington, MA. Franny loved dogs so much. She also loved shopping at Walmart, reading books and watching her favorite shows. But most of all she loved her family and spending time with them. One thing you should never forget about Frances is she was one tough, strong, brave fighter who never gave up or showed you that she was ever in any pain.
