(Nee Kwasny) aged 87, of Green Bay, WI, passed away peacefully on April 13, 2024, in South Milwaukee, WI. Born on March 9, 1937, Frances lived a life marked by deep faith, unwavering love, and thoughtful kindness, touching the hearts of all who knew her.

Frances spent her years as a devoted homemaker, a role she cherished and through which she created a warm and welcoming home for her family and friends.

A loving mother, Frances is survived by her five sons, Robert (LaVonne), Lawrence (Julie), Thomas (Amanda), Peter (Julie), and Jay (the late Leeanna).
