Frances Catherine Quinn (nee Kiley) was born in Prospect, Nova Scotia on June 25, 1926, and died fighting to the end on Feb. 13, 2018, at 91 years old. Predeceased by her parents Jerome and Mary Kiley, sister Anna and brothers Murray, Ken and Bill, her husband George and son Peter. Loved by her sister Mary, her sons Michael, David & Cindi, Danny & Fran, Patrick & Heather and her grandchildren Brendan & Caileigh, Lindsay & Rebecca, Jamie & Charli and her great-grandson Leon.

The most adventurous time in Frances' life was when she was a Ship-to-Shore Operator in Halifax during World War II. It was there that she met her future sparring partner, the handsome George Quinn. After the war she moved to Toronto and then to Mississauga where she continued her next great adventure of raising five sons. The sons married and produced six grandchildren where the tide had turned and five were girls and Frances was tickled pink.

There will be a private family service for Frances at the Home where we will bid a fond farewell.

Cremation has taken place.
