Frances A. Van Zandt
d. October 11, 2008
COLONIE – Frances A. Van Zandt, 86, of Colonie, passed away peacefully on Saturday October 11, 2008 at the Inn of Community Hospice after a brief illness.
She was born in Poultney, VT and was the daughter of the late James T. and Anna Flynn Butler. From the age of 5, Fran knew she wanted to be a nurse. She graduated from the former Bishop DeGoesbriand School of Nursing in Burlington, VT and began her career at Albany Medical Center. She worked for several years at St. Peters Hospital and as a private duty nurse. In later years, Frances was a night supervisor at Albany County Nursing Home and University Heights Nursing Home. She was an active member of the Seniors Club at St. Francis de Sales Church and so looked forward to every Monday to get together with her dear friends. Her favorite pastime was reading. Fran was a loving and caring mother, grandmother and friend who will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
She was predeceased in 1988 by her husband, Charles Van Zandt.
She is the beloved mother of Karen (Robert) Conklin, Edward (Marcy) Van Zandt, Gary Van Zandt and Jim Van Zandt. She is the mother in law of Donna Van Zandt. Fran is the sister of Edward (Connie) Butler and the late Jane Butler. She is the loving cousin of Margaret Butler, who was more like a sister to her. She is the cherished grandmother of Jamie and Erin Conklin, Mark (Heather), Christopher and Casey Van Zandt; Erika and Nicole Van Zandt.
Fran's family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Community Hospice of Albany for their loving and compassionate care of their Mother.
