Sincere condolences to both daughters of Frances McBurney Hatt. I grew up with Frances on Wright Street and we went to Winter Street School together, played together as children and hung around throughout our teen years. Frances was very popular and to all the dances, had lots of boyfriends, wore the best skirts. Both her parents were friends with my parents, attending Parent/Teacher nights and played cards together on Saturday nights. We were a very tight community growing up on Wright Street. As we grew older, Frances moved to Douglas Avenue and my family moved to the north end but I attended Saint John Vocational School and Frances went to Saint John High. We had mutual friends growing up (Clifford Ruthen, Carolyn Beattie VanBuskirk, Bill Martin, Billy Scullion) just to name a few. You can be sure Frances made a difference in her life as she was always a very positive, happy individual.
You will miss her but her life mattered and she cared very deeply. So very sorry for your great loss. Lots of hugs from her old childhood friend, Frances MacDaid Meehan.
