Memorial services will be held Friday, March 12th at 10:00am at LaGrone Funeral Chapel in Roswell, NM with Pastor Jack Ferguson officiating.
Fran was born in Roswell, NM on October 11, 1948 to father, John Beattie and mother, Ina Faye Burton Beattie. She married Charles Bowen Duncan, Sr. on October 22, 1966 and was blessed with three sons.
Known to all as “Nanny” or “Nanny Fran”, she never met a stranger and was very kind to all. She welcomed every person who ever entered her home and was a very generous person. If one was hungry, she fed them. If one needed a sofa to rest for the night, her door was always open. Her legacy to live and laugh, be humble and kind, love unconditionally, and always forgive is an example to live by.
