It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Frances (Fran) Evelyn Beach on 26 June, at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital (D.E.C.H) in Fredericton, NB in the Palliative Care Unit. Born in Gormanville, Hants Co. NS on 29 July 1949, she was the daughter of the late Leonard and Gladys (Harvey) White.

Fran devoted her life caring for those she loved. She took care of her parents from an early age. After marriage in 1971 to Clyde Beach and moving to Kennetcook, her parents, along with her youngest brother and sister moved with her. She continued to care for them for many years.

Fran loved to play bingo and could always be available for a good game of Texas Hold-Em on Saturday nights with family. Her greatest joy was family, and she was always eager to participate in family gatherings of any kind/size.

She is survived by her husband Clyde of 57 years, her son Brian (Amanda), sister Ellen (Allen), 2 granddaughters Brittany and Ashley, along with numerous nieces and nephews. Two nieces in particular (Patricia and Cassandra held a special place in her heart).

Frances is pre-deceased by her parents, sisters Avonbell, Leona and Alice, brothers Glenwood, Gordon, Floyd and Henry.

She was a beautiful soul who touched the hearts of all who knew her. Her laughter, kindness, and love will echo in our hearts forever.

A graveside service and committal will be held at a later date. Cremation has taken place and for now, Fran will return to N.B where she will stay with her husband.

Donations in Frans memory can be made to the N.N.Road Cemetery Fund or a charity of your choice.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the compassionate care of J. Wilson Allen Funeral Home, Hwy 354, Kennetcook, NS (ph:902-362-2440).
