A sweet and pretty young woman, she soon caught the eye of Gene Ledford and the two were married on January 16, 1964. Their 54-year romance produced two beautiful and successful daughters. Fran spent most of her early married years at home raising them and most of her latter years at home helping to raise her four beloved grandchildren.
