Francesca Balthazar-LaFrance, a woman of unwavering faith and boundless love, passed away on March 26, 2025. Born on April 11, 1949, she lived a life dedicated to serving the Lord and spreading kindness to all she met. She was a devoted mother to her four children and a beloved grandmother to twenty-one grandchildren. Her love extended to her three great-grandchildren, all of whom she adored. Francesca cherished every moment spent with her family, creating lasting memories filled with love and laughter. One of her favorite sayings was, "Look at your hands and look at your fingers. Just as you see that none of your fingers are the same, no two people are the same. So accept everyone for who they are."
This philosophy guided her life and touched the lives of all who knew her.
The funeral service will be held on Sunday, April 6th, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Sinai Seventh-day Adventist Church, located at 201 Northwest 46th Avenue, Plantation, Florida.
The burial will follow at 2:15 PM at Bailey Memorial, 7801 Bailey Road, North Lauderdale, Florida.
In lieu of flowers, donations are welcome. Guests are asked to wear colorful attire (expressly no black), resembling a bouquet of flowers, representing the people Francesca loved.
The family greatly appreciates all the condolences they have received.
