Fran grew up in the New York metropolitan area. After she married, she and her husband (Mel Weisel) moved to Connecticut and, eventually, to Longboat Key, Florida. She loved the area and always said that this would be her final resting place.
Fran was an exceptional woman and wife. She excelled at whatever she attempted, doing everything with total commitment and passion. She learned programming in one of the earliest computer training classes at AT&T, eventually becoming a Vice President at AGS Computers. Then she started her own successful computer consulting company, Target Resources, Inc., with over fifty people on staff.
She discovered bridge later in life and quickly became a Silver Life Master. She even co-authored a book with John Veltri, called “Bridge With God.”
She leaves behind a devoted husband, who says of their relationship, “For both of us, life began when we met.” Fran was loving, open, caring and bright, someone more concerned about others than herself. She will be greatly missed.
