Fran joined VCA Lakewood Animal Hospital in December 2022 as a Client Service Representative. This is her semi-retirement, dream job as she enjoys seeing and petting all the cats and dogs and helping their owners. She is a retired chemist, teacher and planetarium director.

Fran has a beautiful, chocolate lab named Sunny and a crazy, but sweet black cat named Sasha. Her bestest boy, Frankie recently went to doggie heaven at the ripe old age of 15. Besides her pets, Fran loves to garden, cook and do needle crafts. She is also a very proud Nonna of two wonderful grandbabies.
