Frances Marie Stewart was born April 29, 1923, in Beyer, PA, to parents who came from Italy through Ellis Island along with two brothers and a sister. Fran was the 8th of 11 children. Her family and she were very Mediterranean in their way of thinking, talking and doing for others. She always had a hug and kind word for everyone she encountered; be it family, friend, acquaintance or perfect stranger that she thought needed it. She will be remembered as full of love and concern for others. Her family traditions were extremely important to her….spaghetti at every birthday celebration.
Frances was united in marriage to David Stewart on October 18, 1957 in Sioux Falls. Fran was a loving homemaker and wife to David; a dedicated mother to Melody; grandmother to Melissa (Mike), David (Julie), and Ann (David); Nana to seven great grandchildren - Max, Dunnavin, Franne, Zoe, Ben, Margaret Ann, and Peter; and sister to surviving siblings Mary Deluca, Frank Attilio, Tony (Helen) Attilio, and Viola Gett.
Her parents, brother’s Floyd, Ernest, Peter and John and sister’s Jean and Pauline preceded her in death.
