Obituary For Frances Y. "Fran" Figel

Frances ‘Fran’ Yvonne Figel, 88, of Mingo Junction was born on April 4, 1923 in Steubenville, Ohio to the late John and Mary Figel.  She entered into eternal life on December 29, 2011 at Valley Hospice Palliative Care Unit North surrounded by her family.  In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sisters; Madelyn Thrash, Anna Marie Zarych, & Joanne Figel and brothers; John ‘Tubby’ Figel and Eugene Figel.  Her nephews, Larry Thrash and Jody Zarych, also preceded her in death.

    My deepest sympathy to the Figel family. I always stopped to see Frannie when I went to the rest home weekly to visit my sister, and she always remembered me. I'll spend the rest of the day at Sienna (as my sister had a stroke), but "Aunt Frannie" will be in my thoughts and prayers. Bun.

    To the Family of Fran Figel: I am so sorry to hear of Fran's passing. I used to work with her many years ago at the Kroger Company. I remember her friendly ways and how she talked about her nephews in a loving way. God bless the family - I know you have many fond memories of her.

    I am sad to hear that Fran is gone. I remember her as a happy, smiling little lady with always good things to say. I still picture her at Krogers, talking to me about my family and laughing with customers. God Bless
