Fran Abbate Obituary
With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Fran Abbate of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, born in Bronx, New York, who passed away on September 15, 2024 at the age of 78. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Fran farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Fran is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She was predeceased by: her parents, Frank Vagnone and Jennie Vagnone. She is survived by: her husband Rocco Abbate; and her children, Rocco Jr., Lisa, Lynn Marie and Christopher. She is also survived by 15 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, because of Fran's love for her country and the sacrifices of the American military and first responders, she requested that memorial donations be made to the Gary Sinese Foundation, at http://www.garysinisefoundation.org. or Tunnels to Towers at http://www.t2t.org..
