It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Frances Saunders, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend.  She passed away in the presence of family at James Paton Memorial Hospital.

Frances will be fondly remembered for her love of cooking and baking, which she enjoyed giving away to others.  She could always be counted on for a great game of cards or TV Bingo.  For those closest to her, she will be lovingly remembered as Aunt Fan.  She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
