Cecil Donald Ross Francis
1937-2021
Passed August 26th, 2021, at the Dr. Everett Chalmers
Hospital. Born in Hermitage, NFLD, on August 6th, 1937, he was the son
of John Thomas Francis and Nellie (Eli) of Newfoundland. Cecil was the
loving husband of the late Nancy Mildred (Boyce)
Francis.
He proudly served his country for 36 years in the Canadian
Armed Forces. He started as a private in 1956 and worked his way up
through the ranks until his retirement as Captain in 1992, which we
are all so proud of. He took full advantage of retiring at
55 and enjoyed life to the fullest with his loving wife, children and
grandchildren. He enjoyed his hobby farm with his friends and family
around him. There aren’t enough words to describe what a
great man he was!
He leaves behind his daughter, Connie
Kimberly Francis, and her child, Holly Tobin;
daughter, Wendy Kathleen Francis-McDonough, and her children,
Patrick McDonough and Katie McDonough, as well as Ross
Timothy’s children, Tyler Francis and Kayla
Carpenter, who will all miss him dearly.
In addition to the love of his life Nancy, he is predeceased
by his son, Ross Timothy Francis; siblings, Clara, Eva, Florence,
Dorthy, Heniretta, Norman, Gertie, Dulcie, Irene and David
(Tom).
A graveside service will take place at a later date when all
family members are able to be together to pay tribute to
Cecil’s life. For those who wish, donations in
Cecil’s memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer
Society.
