Frances was predeceased by her loving husband Louis and daughter Teresa Masich, parents Steve and Mary Siroski as well as brothers, sisters and in-laws.
Frances was born and raised in the Kenaston district. Upon leaving her family home she started working as a cook and baker. One of the places she worked was the Kenaston Hotel. It was at the Kenaston Hotel that she met her future husband, Louis Masich. Frances and Louis were married in October, 1951 and began farming and raising their four children.
Frances was an avid homemaker and gardener. She often said her garden was the perfect therapy for her, a place where she could go and relax and connect with nature. She enjoyed growing flowers, fruit and vegetables.
Frances was an active member in the St. Andrew’s Catholic Women’s League, was a lector and participated in study of Sacred Scripture.
Frances spent the past few years of her life in residence at Jubilee Court in Watrous. She enjoyed the independent living, the active social programs and the daily interaction with other residents.
Milly, Tony and Bob thank all family and friends for their outpouring of kindness, cards, gifts and good wishes and for sharing their memories of Frances. We also extend our thanks to Brian and Todd for all their support.
