Frances “Fran” Stone

Cedar Rapids

We wanted to share that our mom, Fran, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, under the loving care of her daughter Lu, family, and hospice. After facing multiple serious health issues, Mom made the decision to stop all medical treatment and return home.

It was important to her to spend her final days in familiar surroundings, with her beloved companion, Rascal by her side.

Fran was preceded in death by her daughter, Sarah; mother, Frances; brothers, James and John; and her sister, Elizabeth.

She is survived by her daughter, Sherry (Gregg), son, Jesse (Kim), and daughter, Lu (Lorin); grandchildren, Clarissa (Alex), Brandon (Julia), Jacob, and Jared; great-grandchildren, Jody, Phoebe, Levi, and Zelda; sister, Sandy (Mark); many nieces and nephews; and close friends, Mary and Nancy.

Per her wishes, there will be no service. A small family celebration of life will be held at a later date.
