Fran grew up in Grantsburg, Wisconsin and Minneapolis, Minnesota. After high school she attended Mounds Midway School of Nursing in Minneapolis and received her R.N. certification. She met Dick in Chicago while attending Trinity Bible College (now Trinity International University in Bannockburn, IL). They married on September 5, 1953 at Riverside Evangelical Free Church in Minneapolis.

Fran and Dick served the Lord together and ministered faithfully for over 50 years, particularly serving the elderly, their families, and others in critical times of grief and pain. They lived in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, Minnesota, Florida, Colorado, Wyoming and Arizona before retiring in Monroe.

A celebration of Fran's life will be held at a later date in Monroe.
