Frances T. Mallanda of Marietta, Georgia passed away on April 11, 2022 at the age of 76. A native New Yorker, Fran lived in various places, including Japan and Washington State, before finally moving to the South – a relocation that was supposed to last one year, which turned into almost forty years. Fran was a 1966 graduate of Misericordia Hospital School of Nursing in Bronx, New York and worked as a Registered Nurse in labor and delivery at Doctor’s Hospital in Manhattan, New York, until she became a mom herself in 1973.
Fran, a dedicated wife and mother, continued to take care of others, cooking innumerable lasagnas and shuttling children to various sports and activities.
She had a deep love for reading, Publix cake, and her family. Her stubbornness and strength of spirit served her well during her long and hard battle with pancreatic cancer. Fran is preceded in death by her loving husband, John, and is survived by her four children, Catherine Mallanda, Jessica (Chris) Mallanda Lund, Jude Mallanda, and John Mallanda, and two grandchildren, Ryan and Joanna Lund.
A funeral service will be held at noon on Saturday, April 23, 2022 at Holy Family Catholic Church in Marietta. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to WellStar Tranquility Hospice or Holy Family Catholic Church.
