They were happily married for 58 years, and were long-time residents of Rochester. Frances’ passions were her three daughters, traveling, boating, sewing, enjoying her yard, and taking rides around town with Keith to watch new construction projects being built. She was neighborhood mom to the kids in Dennison Acres and affectionately known as “Mrs. T.” Her daughters’ favorite memory is of their mom parasailing at the age of 82 in Jamaica.
