Frances Irene Kolly

Frances "Franki" Irene Kolly (Longo) - A blessing in this world for 86 years! The 'Artist' who saw love and beauty in the everyday world. In the smallest rocks / pinecones, forests, beaches, and sunrises/sunsets. She filled our hearts with laughter and smiles. After an extended illness, she passed away peacefully, on July 26, 2025, with her Daughter and Granddaughter Sedona next to her, seeing her off to her next adventure. She always spoke of her name meaning - 'Freedom' and 'Peace', to which she was the embodiment of for all her years. She lived an unconventional life free of plans and constraints. Like a butterfly floating around taking her wherever the winds brought her. She loved! She was preceded in death by her son Jerry Paul Kolly. She is survived by Daughter Heidi (Dave) Shipka with her beloved Grandchildren Sedona and Teague Shipka; Son Chris (Kara) Kolly; Son Joe Kolly; Daughter Amy Kolly; Daughter Gretchen (Mike) Church with her beloved Granddaughter Kara (Joel) Treesh and her beloved Great Granddaughter Alahna Treesh; Beloved Step Grand / Great grandchildren (Odessa,Estella,Adler); Siblings, Nieces / Nephews, and friends. She will be sorely missed, but celebrated for the beauty she saw and the beauty she helped others see in the world around her.

Revelations 21:4 - And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
