Frances “Fran” McNamara (nee Murphy)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Frances Margery McNamara (nee Murphy), aged 97. Though she will be missed, we are relieved that our sweet and loving mother is finally at peace.
Our beautiful mother/grandmother was born in Hamilton on March 29, 1927, married Wallace McNamara in 1951, and raised six children on Mud Street, near Albion Falls. Her children include Terence; Brian (Melanie); Gary; Shawn (Margaret); Mary-Ellen (John) and Kathleen (Joseph). Grandchildren include Annika (Sebastian); Sarah; Marina; Liam and Quinlan. Great-grandchildren include twins Hanna and Isabell; and Elisa.
Mom’s greatest joy was being a mother to her children and to everyone she met who needed a little mothering. Ever optimistic and caring, she had a smile for all. Her fondest memories were of growing up on Hamilton’s bayfront, playing among the boats and going canoeing with her dad at Princess Point. She had the best stories and could make us all laugh!
We are grateful to the kind and caring staff at Macassa Lodge who always went above and beyond to keep mom comfortable.
Cremation has taken place and a private interment will be held at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Burlington, where she will rest with her parents Francis and Nellie Murphy.
A celebration of life will be held in the coming weeks. We will provide details on Turner Family Funeral Home website as arrangements are set. turnerfamilyfuneralhome.ca/obituaries/
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The SPCA, or a charity of your choice.
