Frances (Gaglione) Ossenfort beloved mother and Nana died peacefully Tuesday February 1st, 2022 with her son and daughter holding her hands. She was 88 years old. In addition to her two children DonnaLee (Ossenfort) Tignor and Geoge Ossenfort Jr., she is mourned by her son-in-law George Tignor, sister Patricia Gaglione and her brother Louis Gaglione along with his  wife Lynn. Her grandchildren whom she unconditionally loved beyond words include Stacy (Ossenfort) Coleman and her husband Thomas, Chrissy Tignor, Brittany (Ossenfort) Smith, Stefanie Tignor and husband Jesse Lyons, Nicholas Ossenfort, and her great granddaughter Deja Duckworth. She was a cheerleader in all of their pursuits, providing neverending support and celebrating their individual successes with unending joy. Her husband George, the true love of her life to whom she was happily married to for 62 years, died in 2017.

Frances was an exceptional saleswoman, first working alongside her husband at the Valley Marina in Rindge NH and later with her daughter at Celebration in Gardner, MA. She was also a trained Nurse's Aide providing comfort to those in need in at-home care.

An avid cook, the only thing better than her homemade Italian sauce and meatballs was her sense of humor. Her entire family will forever cherish her hilarious "nana-isms". Feisty and strong-willed when she needed to be, she also brought a special welcoming kindness to everyone she met. She would often arrive at a doctor's appointment bearing homemade treats such as a cake that she had baked for everyone in the office.  A dog lover through and through, she derived much comfort and joy from her two grandpuppies. Frances was a beautiful person both inside and out, and her classy fashion sense was undeniably beyond comparison. She will be dearly missed.

A private memorial service will be held at a future date. The family requests that in place of flowers, donations be made in Frances's honor to The Alzheimer's Association https://act.alz.org/site/ Donation2?df_id=39209&mfc_ pref=T&39209.donation=form1
