Branches of a tree are only as strong as the roots. Roots forged in love make each branch stronger. The main root of our family tree, Frances Anne Maas (Coleman) passed away July 21, 2022, at home surrounded by her children and husband.
Through her love and sacrifice we, the branches of her family tree, will continue to grow and reach for the heavens in her honor.
Frannie, Francie-Ann, Mom, Nana, Granna, and Hun, as she was known, will be greatly missed. Thanks to her, our home was always filled with so much love. Friends and family often found refuge there. The door was always open, as was her heart.
The branches of her tree will continue and flourish, filled with the love she provided throughout the years.
Frances is preceded in death by her parents Francis and Dorothy (Surdam) Coleman, daughter DeeAnne (Corp) Akins and granddaughter Allyssa Akins.
Her legacy lives on with her loving husband Steven Maas, daughters Lucinda and Mary and son Joe Maas, 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Branches growing across the nation from New York, Georgia, Texas and Arizona.
Her roots will be forever in Skaneateles where she will be laid to rest at St. Mary’s Cemetery, Skaneateles, NY.
In lieu of flowers Donations to American Cancer society in honor of Frances A Maas would be appreciated.
