Frances Victoria Boshkaykin

Frances was born on January 18, 1958 in Fort Frances, Ontario to James Blackjack and Rosie Boshkaykin. She lived in Seine River First Nation many years of her life and taught Anishinaabemowin at Mine Centre Public School for over 25 years. She often recalled fond memories of her students and enjoyed seeing how much they had grown. She loved dancing (and shopping) at powwows, reading, visiting, puttering around the house, and spoiling her grandbabies. She ensured a full cookie jar for the revolving door of grandbabies. She will be remembered as a loving Momma, Gramma and caring friend to all those who met her.

Fran was predeceased by her Father James Blackjack and brother Gordon James Boshkaykin.
