Frances Ann (O'Connor) Zuppo

<<< Return to Memory Wall

Loving wife of Joe and mother of Angela, Michelle, Joseph and Melinda. Family believes she had Alzheimer’s since 2001. Diagnosed by Mayo Clinic Rochester in 2011. She spent close to four years in nursing homes. Less than one year in SD then three years in MD. Her family celebrated her 76th birthday the day before her passing. Our children and grandchildren had a wonderful time with her. She was so witty and full of love, but ready to go to our Lord. A couple weeks prior I asked her what she wanted to do that day. Her immediate reply “Die.” I just hugged her! She was ready!

Yesterday was Memorial Day. We thank those that gave their all for serving us while in the military! Well, this lady gave her all to her four children and husband was profoundly wounded by Alzheimer’s and fought that for what the family thinks is 19 years. A silent debilitating disease that takes everything. We all miss her! Thank you Fran for your service to us for for 53 years! We love you.

Frances has been my friend since our kindergarten days, through grade school, and high school, and beyond. A wonderful lady and friend!

From the first day I met Miss Fran, Music was a wonderful pastime for her. Even to the end her happiness was family music and a cookie! I will never forget the Wedding Vow Renewal events that the Zuppos' attended and witnessing how special that time was for them. It was my honor to serve the Zuppo family while Miss Fran was here and I thank the family for helping Miss Fran to find a semblance of home in this community. During this journey to end Alzheimer's, I will always advocate for those who can't and will always fondly remember Miss Fran and her family as my own.

The world can rob us of our memories, our thoughts, our lives. God gives them all back to us. Be well and be confident of God's grace.

Well yesterday was our 53rd anniversary! Still love you except now I miss you. Finally got this somewhat corrected. Was always a little late doing things. LOL
