Fran was the Postmaster of the Breslau Post Office until her retirement. She returned part-time to sort mail for many years with her postal family: Kathy, Albert, and Bob. Travelling the world and socializing with her many friends and family was very important to Fran. She was an avid Kitchener Rangers fan, tending goal from her seat at many home and away games. One of Fran's biggest joys was the love and very close relationship she had with grandsons Scott and Mike. For the many years she spoiled them, they returned the love and unconditionally cared for her up until the end. She was truly a caring, giving, and fun person.
