Frances (Kain) McJannet
October 26, 1924 - October 24, 2017
Frances (Kain) McJannet was the second of four children born in Seattle to a loving, strong Catholic and proudly Irish family in 1924. She attended Holy Names Academy. She met Frank at a Catholic dance shortly after WWII. They married on February 1, 1947 and started their life in Ballard and finally to North Seattle. There they stayed for over 50 years and completed their family of 11 children, plus welcoming several foster children and later grandchildren and great grandchildren. Fran was very involved with their children’s school and their church, Christ the King. She was involved in many aspects from PTA, to Marian Society to working the Pie Booth and Golden Garbage Room at the church's annual Fall Festival.
Fran and Frank enjoyed square dancing for many years and playing bridge with family and friends. They took a memorable trip to Mexico City with Fran's siblings and spouses. Fran became a secretary for Allstate in the early 70s and enjoyed her work and friends she made there for 20 years. After retirement, they traveled across country stopping to visit family and friends as they went. Fran loved her family very much and was always happy to go to any party, attend any play or event of her grandkids and would especially host or attend any picnic at Carkeek Park!
Fran had a long, full and rich life. What she always treasured most were the people in her life. If you are reading this, you are one of her treasures and she and her family thank you!
