We are greatly saddened by the passing of Frances Mae Senior (Payne).

Left to cherish her memory are her daughters; Heather Shaw (Randy), Shelley Hawthorn (Neil) and Alana Senior.  Fran was predeceased by her husband, John. Grandchildren are Breanne Shaw (Braden), Cory Hawthorn (Shay),  Holly Shaw (Kevin),  Chad Hawthorn (Savana),  Jennifer and Michelle Senior, Anthony Parker and great grandchildren.  She will be especially missed by great granddaughter Aryanna who had a very special bond with her Grandad and Nana. She is survived by sisters Joyce, Joan, Bernice, Fern and sister in-law Louise, as well as many nephews and nieces. Fran was also predeceased by her brother Roy Payne and in-laws John Gogo, Walter Smith and Al Swain.

Fran had many friends and was well known in her Transcona community.  She was a long-time member of the Transcona Memorial United Church.  She taught Sunday school, sang in the choir, was part of the UCW group and liked to be busy.  She knit and crocheted many mitts, scarves and hats for charity and volunteered where there was a need.

We want to thank her doctors and nurses, at both St. Boniface Hospital and Riverview Health Centre, for their care and support.

To honour Fran’s wishes, there will be no service.  Please celebrate her life in the quiet memories in your hearts.

As mom had written on her calendar:  “Jesus, I am ready to walk with you.”

In lieu of flowers, a donation in her name may be made to the Transcona Memorial United Church or to a charity of your choice.
