Frances attended cosmetology school, and was a hairdresser and cosmetologist for many years, working at Roc’s Salon and Rumors Salon in Marlborough, MA. In her free time, she enjoyed traveling, with a special fondness for spending time in Stowe, Vermont, as well as other locations that were special to her.
