01/09/1943 - 10/10/2023
Frances Rose Martin, born on January 9, 1943, left this world on October 10, 2023, at the age of 80. She is survived by her devoted husband, Jeff Martin, with whom she shared over 40 wonderful years of marriage.
Fran's love and warmth extended to her sister, Patricia Thomas who she mentored and considered her very best friend and Patty's husband, Jack Thomas who she adored. She was a very loving Aunt to their two sons, Chad and Bryan Thomas. Fran's passing leaves a void in the lives of her family and friends, who will remember her with deep affection and love.
In her youth, Fran was an avid athlete, enjoying tennis and golf, and her love for the outdoors was a constant in her life. She had a passion for sports, particularly baseball, and her enthusiasm for the game was infectious to all who knew her. Fran's lively sense of humor brought laughter and joy to those around her, leaving lasting memories of her warm and inviting spirit.
Frances was preceded in death by her brother, Daniel Palmer, of Seattle, and her parents, Alexander Francis Palmer and Rose Marie Palmer, both of whom were very dear to her.
At Fran’s request there will be no memorial service.
Rest in peace, Fran. Your memory will forever brighten our hearts.
