She attended Holy Family Catholic Grammar School and Holy Child High School. She married Frank C. Bojniewicz on August 20, 1949.

Frances was a hardworking, devoted mother of 10 who was always in the kitchen cooking and baking as her children grew up. She had some signature dishes, like her bacon spaghetti, fried chicken, "Mac and Cheese" and German potato salad, which her children love to this day.

She began working when her oldest child was in high school. She was employed at Westvaco in North Chicago, Illinois and was always baking and cooking for her coworkers. She became involved with the VFW when her children were grown, and was a lead on many fund raising events, especially the Sunday morning bake sale. In recent years, she became reunited with her Waukegan neighbor, Bernice Sloan, as they lived in the same apartment building. They enjoyed many nights playing Yahtzee and cards.
