  2 p.m.
  Channing-Murray Foundation

We Invite Members and Friends of Channing-Murray who knew and loved  
Fran to join us in remembering her on January 5th at 2 p.m.

  Fran Bond Turquette passed on November 6th in the home of her daughter  
in Batavia, IL. Fran was a beloved member of the Channing-Murray  
foundation who visited on an almost weekly basis for a women's lunch  
and often attended plays and other cultural events hosted at the  
Channing-Murray Foundation. She loved the Foundation's rich history and  
was especially committed to preserving the historical integrity of the  
building itself. To the staff of Channing-Murray Foundation, Fran was a  
spark in each of our days, engaging in witty banter with Red Herring  
employees and C-M Staff alike. Her weekly visits are deeply missed!

Her obituary was published in the News-Gazette on November 18th. In  
addition, a number of lovely sentiments and anecdotes have been shared  
on the guest book being maintained by the family.
