Frances Beth Young - March 26, 1942- September 3, 2026 ‘’Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light. Tragedy is the most ridiculous thing.’’ ~Frida Kahlo. Fran chose her life; she chose adventure and autonomy; she chose herself. Fran cherished silliness, dancing the pain away, and laughter. She leaves behind lifelong friends and beloved nieces and nephews to carry forward her viva la vida. Her spirit is with us still.
