She truly loved swimming in the ocean, daily bike rides and she loved it when family came and spent time with her. Fran was often seen by friends and neighbors when she would go for her daily walks in the neighborhood. Fran had a true gift to gab, we loved hearing her stories and chatting with her. When there was a Red Sox game on you knew Fran would be watching, she was a true Boston Sports Fan through and through.
