Frances (Fran) Teresa Harris, 77, passed away peacefully in her home on March 7, 2025. She leaves husband Michael Harris, sons, Michael, David and Mark, daughters-in-law Heather and Jaime, and beloved grandchildren Mia, Paige, Kaidyn, Mason and Kyle. She also leaves her lifelong best friend and dear cousin, Bea. Frances was born in Oakland, CA. She traveled the world as a proud navy wife before finally settling in Seattle, WA. She worked at the Navy Exchange for over 30 years while also raising her three sons and helping to raise her two granddaughters.

Frances loved being a Nana and spending time with her grandchildren. Her love for them was immeasurable. They always looked forward to waking up to the smell of her pancakes and sausage or coming home after school to a bag full of treats from Nana. They were never without a treat, a hug, or a cuddle when she was with them. She could always cheer them up with a funny joke, song, or trip to the park. The memories forged with them will stay in their hearts, always.

Whatever the situation, Fran was there for you. Especially for her beloved boys who she stood by through all of life’s challenges. Her quick wit often led to a room full of laughs and long-lasting smiles. Her endless patience let us know that no matter the situation, everything would be fine. Her memory will live on in the life lessons she taught and the happiness she brought out in everyone she met. She was an extraordinary person, and life will not be the same without her. She is deeply missed.
