Mom would like to let you know that her work here is done. Born June 4th 1926 in Holyrood, NFLD. She was the daughter of Thomas and Mary Kieley. Predeceased by her parents at the age of 6, she and her sister Cecelia and brother Jack were raised by her oldest brother Patrick (Mary) with their 11 children Anne, Mary Helen, Josephine, Thomas, Jenny, Patrick, Edward, Elisabeth, Jerome, Lorraine and Theresa. She worked as a waitress at the Gander Airport from ‘52-‘54 moving with friends to Halifax in ‘54. There she met a young man asking her for a cigarette. Not soon afterward they were married in Roddicton, NFLD. They returned to Halifax in 1956 where Murdock reenlisted in the Navy and Frances became the mother of 3 children and home maker for 62 years. She was predeceased by her husband Murdock (by 1 week) and is survived by her children James (Edna), Barbara (Darryl) Dejong and Shawn (Tammy) and her grandchildren, Natasha (Scott), Sabrina, Kyle (Israt), Kristopher (Vanessa), Kody, Scott (Samantha), Stephanie, Christine (Matt), Jessica (Keith); with great grandchildren Joshua, Jaxson, Dominic, Bianca, Brooke, and Benjamin; and many nieces and nephews.
Peacefully sleeping, resting at last, the world’s weary troubles and trials are past. In silence she bore, ‘til Dad called her over to suffer no more.
