Fran would like to let you know that as of February 22, 2022, at the age of 79, her work here is done. Fran received a call, a sort of an offer that you cannot refuse, for an appointment from which she will not be returning. This assignment comes with a huge sign-on bonus, a reunion with family and friends she has not seen in a long time. Job security is exactly 110 percent. Her new mission takes her to a wonderful place where she will be socializing, dancing, gardening, knitting and reading to her heart’s content. Music, laughter and love are guaranteed. Food is delicious and you never gain an ounce. Fran left detailed instructions for her husband and children to celebrate her mission here, which has now been completed. Low adherence to these instructions will not be tolerated. We want to let her know that she did a great job while she was here and wish her a safe journey. We will remember her smile, her warmth, her energy, her love for life, family and friends. She worked very hard all her life, up until the very end. She made a difference in the lives of many, and her life here will not be forgotten. Fran is survived by her husband Kenneth and two daughters, Constance Cunningham (Stewart) and her husband Carey Cunningham of Oakville, Ontario, and April Vodden (Stewart) and her husband William (Bill) Vodden of Fergus, Ontario. Proud Grandma of Nicholas and Logan Cunningham and Morgan and Austin Vodden. Predeceased by Fran’s sister Florence Shortt (Broderick) and brother-in-Law Ronald Shortt and Mother and Father, Edith and Joseph Broderick.
