Frances M. Smith

Frances Marie Smith (Ramundo) was born May 4, 1951 in Manhattan to Vincent and Frances Ramundo. The family moved out to Hicksville when Fran was a toddler. She was raised on Maglie Drive, alongside her younger brother Robert. They were lucky enough to have their grandmother and 2 uncles living with them as well. Living just a few miles away from their 2 aunts, Fran grew up with her 8 cousins who considered themselves siblings.

A huge Beatles fan as a teen girl (she loved to tell people how she went with her cousins to their first show at Shea stadium), Fran graduated Hicksville High School in June of 1969. She attended Briarcliffe College and received a secretarial diploma.

She married the love of her life, husband Danny, and in their happy home on Bradley Drive in Shoreham they raised daughters Keri and Ashlee. Blessed later on in life to be joined with granddaughters Madison and McKenna, along with her son-in-loves, Chris and Matt. She lived an idyllic life in where she hosted endless holidays and backyard pool parties.

There wasn’t a family event she would miss. Always up for a good time and fun, you could always count on Fran to be there.

Retiring in Florida the last few years of her life, she found joy with her husband traveling and being with friends.

We find comfort knowing she is now out of pain and reunited with her parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Life will never be the same for her husband, daughters, son-in-laws, granddaughters, brother, sister-in-law and endless cousins, nieces and nephews.
