Passed away in Victoria July 10, 2008 at the Royal Jubilee Hospital, Richmond Pavillion. She is lovingly remembered by her husband, Bill and her son, Bill junior. Frances was born in Victoria to Dr. Hugh Clarke and Reta Clarke, attended Norfolk House School, was an accomplished pianist, and studied art and painting. She moved to Toronto and lived there for a number of years, then to Vancouver, and later Edmonton before recently returning to Victoria. Frances loved the outdoors and was always helping to ensure the well being of animals and birds. She had a ready wit and an infectious laugh. Our sincere thanks to Dr. Brian Winsby and the staff at the Richmond Pavillion for their care during her brief but brave battle with cancer. Cremation. Interment at the Royal Oak Burial Park Mausoleum. Frances requested no service. Tributes, if desired, may be made to a charity of one’s choice.
We shall dearly miss her, but as she believed, Death ends a Life, Not a Relationship.
Leave Condolence
