Frances became a member of St. Joseph's Church when the family moved to Penfield in 1957. Family and cooking/baking were very important to her. Not only did she love to cook for her family, but she also spent most of her career in the Penfield Central School system as a cook manager preparing meals for the children and staff in her school as if it was for her family. She was very proud of having served as the cook manager for the campers and staff of the Rotary Sunshine Camp Haccomo for many summers, sharing her love of cooking with some very special people.
