Frances dedicated 48 years of her life as both an employee and volunteer with Twinsburg City Schools, leaving an indelible mark on generations of students. Her passion for supporting youth and fostering community spirit led her to become a founding member of the Twinsburg Athletic Boosters, the Saints Cosmas and Damian Women's Group, and the Twinsburg Athletic Boosters Hall of Fame Committee.
