Fran was an ambitious, busy woman. She enjoyed landscaping, remodeling, painting, crocheting, crafts, sewing, flowers, and their dogs Echo and Lizzy. In fact, at the age of 85 you could still find her bravely climbing onto the house roof to fix the swamp cooler, (waving to the neighbors) and climbing ladders to prune dead branches from the backyard trees. Fran was a social butterfly. She enjoyed daily walks, playing cards, working puzzles, bowling, Big Band music, Andy Williams, and "creative decorating".



Fran was preceded in death by husbands Lloyd Kneller, Max Marsh, Windle Arms, and "John" Jack Wroble. Also preceded in death by parents Ralph and Mary Fern Haley, siblings Mary Gills, Bob Haley, Pat Jourgensen, granddaughter Kalia Brown Thompson, nephew Gary Jourgensen.



She is survived by daughter Karen Kneller Christensen (Littleton, Colorado), granddaughter Kristi Brown Steele (Gabe), and great grandson Zane Steele all of Golden, CO.

She humbly declined a service. Her ashes will be interred beside her family and late husband at a later date at Wyoming Memorial Gardens in Casper, Wy.



In lieu of flowers she would have liked memorials sent to the Central Wyoming Hospice or the Casper Humane Society
