Franz – The passing of Marie Matilda Franz of Brooks, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and aunt, who passed away in Brooks on Monday, November 18th, 2019 at the age of 92 years, has left us to reflect as a family on our time together with her and on those who have helped and cherished her on her journey. The daughter to Adam and Bertha Hammer, Marie was born on January 21st, 1927 in Coleman, Alberta, where she lived for the next 87 years, before moving to Brooks to be closer to family. She was predeceased by her loving husband of 64 years, Bobby Franz and brothers, John, Norman, Ken and Bill. Left to cherish her memory are her sisters, Mae (Johnson) and Irene (Puchko); sister-in-law Eleanor (Hammer); son, Robert and his wife Grace; grandchildren, Kyle and Meghan (Doherty); great grandchildren, Violet and Tayin and many nieces, nephews and friends. A private family interment will take place at a later date. In memory of Marie, if friends desire, memorial tributes may be made to a charity of choice.
