Obituary of Frances Anne Henderson
HENDERSON, Frances (nee Mancuso)July 20, 1950-February 18, 2018
It is with profound sadness that we share our loss with the many people who were fortunate to share in the love for our Mom, Grandma, Sister, Aunt, and Friend. Surrounded by her family, Tracy, Mike and Kylie Korneluk; MiMi Rivait and Gord Fitt; Angela, Vince and Curtis Rines; Connie Mancuso; and her fur baby Puddin, Fran joined her angels, her late husband George Henderson, fur baby Killer, and her parents Horner & Helen Mancuso. Lovingly described as OLG, the Matriarch of the casino slot family and forever one of the Dominion Girls, this true chocoholic will be dearly missed. We convey a heartfelt thank you to our extended family, especially Britanee and Brandi for your support and care. We would also like to thank the physicians and nurses at the St. Catharines Hospital and Krystal from Essentials for their amazing professionalism and compassion. Thank you to the many people for your kind words, thoughts, prayers, visits and overwhelming love. Whether you called her Mom, Grama, Aunt, Sister, Fran, Frannie, OLG, or Carmela she still wouldn’t get your name right.
“So There”; “Shoot me now”.

Tracey and MiMi:
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful lady and she always made me laugh. I first met you and your mother when we lived in Summerlea Acres in the 70″s and early 80″s. She was always smiling and laughing, and I have many fond memories of her and George. We also worked together at Mr. Grocer. She will be sadly missed.
My sincere condolences to your family. Fran always made me laugh at work. Truly beautiful lady with a big heart. I only have FRANTASTIC memories of this OLG. RIP my dear Fran.

I will forever cherish my memories of Fran when we worked at Casino Niagara and carpooled together ! Your sarcastic sense of humour we all loved and will miss greatly. I had the pleasure of visiting your home on numerous occasions when Fran and George lived in crystal beach. Some very fond memories indeed. I’m saddened to hear of frans passing . My heart felt , deepest condolences go out to Mimi , Tracey , and the rest of the family , as well as her friends , and co-workers past and present. Love ya Frannie! Rest with the angels my friend. You will be forever loved and missed !
We always felt like Fran was a big warm part of our family .. She always included us as a part of her family on holidays and special events .. with open arms she accepted us into her life … She was more then an our sons in laws but a warm special friend that always showed us love and kindness .. She was a strong woman full of kindness and a special kind of wit that drew you to her .. Once you had met her you would never forget her . Even though the angels have gathered another for their ranks .. the world weeps at the loss of such a beautiful soul from our midst. You will always be in our hearts and the love you gave can never be taken from us .
We speak of you often to bring you into our thoughts and memories of you will keep you here with us in our hearts always and forever .. I count my blessings to have known and loved you …
Fran was a wonderful friend and a blessing to all of us who worked with her and were able to enjoy her humour and wonderful spirit. My prayers are being sent to all of her family at this most difficult time.❤

The loss of someone dear to us is never easy and words just can’t express the sadness we all feel. Fran’s passing will not only leave a void in our lives, but in the hearts of everyone who knew her. I am honored to have been granted the opportunity to have known and worked with her. Thanks for all the laughs and memories Fran. May you rest in peace my friend
Fran u were a joy to work with and to know. You will be sadly missed, by everyone that new you. All I could say is that u were ONE OF A KIND.
Your light will brighten our hearts forever and of future always..xo
Fran (Mom)… Words cannot describe how I feel. The last 8 days seem to be surreal. I wish I could have spent more time with you. I wish I could turn back time. Thank you for making one of the toughest decision of your life. I thought about you for so many years and was so excited and touched when you agreed to meet me. I will never forget that moment. You were a loving, wonderful and amazing woman. To make things even more amazing was allowing me to meet my 2 sisters. Two of the most beautiful women and who also embraced me and my family. Fran … I promise we will continue to be a huge part of each other’s lives. I promise to continue to support and be there for Mimi and Tracy in anyway I can. I love them and they miss you terribly, as do I. There is so much more I want to say …. God I wish you were here to hear it. Lots of love Angela xo
So sorry Tracy, Mimi and Kylie
Fran was such a caring person, she would go out of her way to help you.
I couldn’t have asked for a better step mother, she was a beautiful person. Xoxo
MiMi may your mom’s spirit continue to shine bright through you. May you be surrounded by good memories, family and friends – we are here to support you. Sending you prayers, as you are in my thoughts during this most difficult time.
Many prayers and much love. <3 And it goes without saying, but what a beautiful, personal, and celebratory obituary.
MiMi and family, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Frances. Please accept my deepest condolences, I am thinking of you all.
