Frances A. Hanania (nee Kelly), age 64 of Pompton Lakes passed away on Wednesday, September 21, 2011. “Frannie”, as she was known to most, was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.
Frannie grew up in Paterson and graduated high school from Mary Help of Christians Academy in North Haledon with the class of 1964. Upon graduating, she immediately started nursing school at the St. Joseph’s Hospital in Paterson. She became an X-ray technician and took her first position at the St. Barnabas Hospital in Livingston. After more training, she moved to the Morristown Hospital and began working as a Nuclear Medicine Technician. She advanced to become the Assistant Head Technician at Morristown before retiring in 2009. She absolutely loved her work and all the people she was able to help, but her grandchildren proved to be too irresistible and she retired to spend as much time as she could with them.
Frannie had a huge heart and devoted herself to helping others not only in her career, but throughout every aspect of her life. She often volunteered at the Shepherds Haven in Pompton Lakes and the food bank at St. Mary’s Church in Pompton Lakes. She would also take in just about anyone who needed help into her own home. Her two sons recall how it wasn’t uncommon to have other people living in their house with them, due to whatever circumstances, and Frannie was always willing to help them. She was also involved with her church, Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church in Wayne in several capacities, including with the choir, elderly assistance, and where ever they needed help. She was a kind and very caring woman, always helping those in need.
Frannie met her husband Albert in Clifton at a Drum and Bugle review. They were each getting lunch at a hot dog stand and struck up a conversation. They married in 1967 and have enjoyed forty four years together. They took a family vacation to Disney World this past April and Frannie never stopped smiling. It was a wonderful time spent with her husband, children and grandchildren, with memories they will all cherish for a lifetime.
She is survived by her beloved husband of forty four years; Albert of Pompton Lakes, her two sons; Christopher of Pompton Lakes and Matthew and his wife Louise of Pompton Lakes. She was the devoted grandmother to Samantha and Nathan Hanania of Pompton Lakes, and of course; her dog Maura and her cat Calpurnia.
