She was always giving, loving and dedicated to her family and husband and had a special gift for making and keeping friends. She taught us all the meaning of love, laughter, fun and the importance of family. Our fondest memories will always be of the light and love she brought into the room at social and family gatherings. Her contagious smile and laughter will be deeply missed. Fran was born October 30, 1929 to the late Frank and Catheryn Palazzotto of Waukegan.
