I am sorry to hear of this, albeit much belatedly. I worked with Fran at TRW, and she was one of the pleasures of turning up for work...always calm, uplifting and empathetic. A wonderful lady.
I was only 24 at the time (1978) but I remember her indulgences to my puppy pride and her words of wisdom in the brief coffee intervals. She faced a lot of brutal conditions at the plant with dignity and forbearance. I am delighted that she escaped all that and had a long and fulfilling life afterwards, and I hope I can be as resolutely humanistic in my own looming retirement. God bless you Fran.
