Frances (Murray) Dafoe, loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away surrounded by her children and grandchildren on January 19, 2019, at the age of 89. Frances was born on September 14, 1929 to Mary and Martin Murray and grew up in Gooseville Corners.

At the time of her death, Frances was a grandmother to twenty-two grandchildren and nineteen great-grandchildren.

Her home was always open and welcoming to everyone, and it was a perpetually lively and welcoming place. Frances seemed to have a heart that expanded with every introduction to each new child. Her large family was her life’s work and passion.

She cared deeply for them all. Frances also loved dancing and old relics that held an interesting history. Beloved for her kind-ness, non-judgmental temperament, and wry sense of humor, Frances was quick, clever, and compassionate until the very end of her life.
