With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Frances Rita Marcellino, who departed this life on Sunday, October 6, 2024, at the age of 96. Born in San Francisco, California, Frances lived a life filled with passion, love, and unshakable resilience.
A devoted mother and grandmother, Frances cherished her family beyond measure. Proud of her Italian heritage, she filled every family gathering with warmth and laughter, offering delicious meals straight from the heart. She loved playing Bingo and always found joy in her lively trips to the casino. A woman of strong will and boundless energy, she was a force of nature—bold, spirited, and deeply cherished by all who knew her.
Frances will be laid to rest at Willamette National Cemetery in Happy Valley, Oregon, a place of tranquility and respect. Although she has left us in body, her legacy of love, strength, and vibrant, spicy Italian spirit will live on in our hearts forever.
