Prior to her husband's passing, they both enjoyed spending time on their boat docked in Westerly Rhode Island. She also loved spending time with family and loved shopping for her grandchildren. Prior to her retirement, Frances was a member of the Hotel Employees & Restaurant Employees Union for many years working at various hotels in Hartford and also worked for the Polytechnic Club (now known as On20) for several years before retiring in 1994.
