Mary Frances Kern Obituary
We are sad to announce that on March 14, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Mary Frances Kern (Belleville, Illinois). You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
In the soft embrace of remembrance, we recall the profound impact Mary Frances had on those she encountered along her journey. Though Mary Frances may have slipped beyond the veil of mortality, her essence lingers like a faint fragrance in the air, a lingering reminder of the beauty and complexity of the human experience.
She was predeceased by: her parents, Bernard Pape and Margaret Pape (Crehan); her children, Teresa Kern (Tracie) and Todd Kern; and her granddaughter Taylor Kern.
She is survived by: her daughter Mary Margaret "Muffie" Kern; her son-in-law Edgar Reed; her granddaughter Lora Romano (Giovanni); and her great grandchild Augustina Maria.
In lieu of flowers, the family would like you to consider a donation, in Mary's name, to one of the following organizations: St. Henry's Catholic Church, Hospice of Southern Illinois, or the Alzheimer's Association in.
