After a courageous battle on Saturday, August 23, 2025. Loving mother of Jeremy Schrier and Savannah Kajdi, Daniel Schrier and Stefanie Andena. Dear sister and sister-in-law of Tammi Derkson and Dominic Colavecchio, and Jodi Derkson. Incredible aunt of Zachary Colavecchio and Eliane Lagrange, Rachelle Colavecchio and Brandon Cummings. Beloved daughter of the late Irving and and the late Barbara Derkson.
Fran had an easy laugh and a loud one, heard by all. It wasn't hard to get her laughing. She was a hard worker her entire life and managed to create a life full of love and friendship and beauty. Fran will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all those who knew her.
Special thanks to Dr. Kevin Petrecca and the nurses and staff at the Montreal Neurological Institute. Much gratitude to George Adikibe-nana, who took exceptional care of Fran and her entire family during this difficult time.
