Many of you knew Fran over her decades of work in our CIL's Independent Living Department. She was an active member of Philly ADAPT, DIA and attended so many of Liberty's advocacy events and local, state and national ADAPT actions.</span><br><span></span><br><span>She was very committed to disability rights and participated as a Plaintiff enforcing our civil rights under the ADA against Weight Watchers, SEPTA, the City of Philadelphia for polling place and voting machine access, accessible safe sidewalks, Citizens Bank for voice output ATMs, improved access at Philadelphia Airport, and so many other issues important to our independent living movement. She was a force of nature, and commanded undivided attention with her strong voice and conviction.</span><br><span></span><br><span>In the end, lung cancer (she never smoked cigarettes) took her away, but she was peacefully in hospice at home surrounded by her loving family and close friends. Ironically, passing to the other side during a thunderous Tornado warning storm. Yes, our Frannie went out with a bang.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Service & Memorial Details:</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span> * Graveside Service at 10am sharp, this Friday, August 11th at Lawnview Cemetery, 500 Huntington Pike, Rockledge (Jenkintown), Pa 19046</span><br><span> * Memorial Celebration at the William Penn House Community Room, 1919 Chestnut Street, Center City Philadelphia, PA from 1-3pm.</span><br><span></span><br><span>All are invited to attend either or both services. We appreciate all your prayers, thoughts and condolences for Fran and her family.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Love</span><br><span></span><br><span>Tom</span><br><span></span><br><span>Thomas H.
