She graduated from high school at 16 and put herself through nursing school to help support her family. Fran worked as a registered nurse for over 40 years while raising her children and playing in a semi-professional bowling league.After Fran and Dan retired, they moved to a farm in Crown City. Fran loved tending her garden, reading mystery novels, doing puzzles, and most of all, taking care of her family. She was an amazing cook, and although she generously shared her recipes, no one could ever make them as good as "Mammaw". Her strength and compassion were an inspiration to her granddaughters, two of whom continued her legacy in the nursing field.Fran's spirit lives on through her sister Karen (Harold) Erskine, sister-in-law Charlotte Patton, children Jack (Peggy) Harris, Rick (Linda) Harris, Mike (Cheryl) Harris, and Francie Harris, stepsons Danny (Robin) Patton and Joel (Connie) Patton, grandchildren Jennifer (Chris) Madine, Jayne (Eric) Gwinn, Ashley (Matt) Whitley, and Holley (Keith) Donahue, great-grandchildren Lola, Rosie, Frankie, Stella, Cash, Olivia, Cooper, Daniel and Elliot, and extended family and friends far and wide.
