It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Francine Howard (Parent) on April 25, 2023. Francine was born on June 19, 1968. She grew up in Whitman, MA and was a graduate of Whitman-Hanson High School in 1986. She later moved to Norfolk, MA in 1991.
Those who had the privilege of knowing Francine will remember her kindness, generosity, and bright spirit. She possessed a strong sense of empathy and always lent a helping hand to those in need. She had an undying love for her family, her pets, and all animals in general.
Francine is survived by her husband, Daniel, her daughters, Nicole and Ashley, and her grandson Jace. She is also survived by her brother, John Parent and his wife Linda, and her sister Mary Young and her husband Paul. She was predeceased by her mother, Alice Parent, her father, Armand "Charlie" Parent, and her brother, Stephen Parent.
Francine will be deeply missed, but her memory will live on through the countless lives she touched. As we mourn the loss of Francine, let us also celebrate her life and the legacy she leaves behind.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend calling hours for Francine on Tuesday, May 2 from 4 - 7 p.m. in the Ginley-Crowley Funeral Home, 3 Barber St. in Medway (www.ginleyfuneralhomes.com).
