Fran retired from Bridgestone in 2010, she enjoyed picking up bartending shifts at all the local club establishments in the Upper Sandusky area. She was a member of the Moose #1093, and former member of Amvets #777, Eagles #2184, and the Elks #83. Fran had many joys in life, her family being the biggest, but she found time in between that to tend to her garden, crafting, sewing, and always tried to be in good spirits. If you knew Fran than you knew, Fran liked beer, she loved to dance or as she would say boogie, loved listening to music, she never knew a stranger.
