Born June 25, 1924, to Mary (Stafford) and Frank Blessing, Frances was a wonderful, loving, cheerful and supportive, daughter, sister, and aunt to many nieces and nephews.

She was a communicant of St. Christopher Church in East Hartford, (contributing handmade crafts and ornaments for events), a member of the Grange, a supporter of CPTV, and an avid fan of the UCONN girls' basketball team. She took great joy in her flower, vegetable and fruit gardens, and visiting birds.

She leaves behind her niece, Maureen Cody Carroll of Andover, CT, son-in law James Carroll, and grand niece and nephew Elaine and Edward Carroll, also of Andover, CT. A private burial will be held at St. Mary's Cemetery in East Hartford, CT. No calling hours. Donations in Frances' memory should be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
