After living many years in Longmeadow, she retired to enjoy condo living in Agawam. Frances spent time keeping connections with her high school classmates, and loved organizing and participating in reunions. In addition, she had a lifetime love of all things musical, keeping scrapbooks of many events, but none more than her favorite entertainer and good friend Robert Goulet. Frannie (as her nieces and nephews called her) loved doing all kinds of puzzles and knitting. Many of her crochet works still adorn the homes of her children. Her three grandchildren were her greatest joy, always showering them with love and attention. Frances is predeceased by her sister Gloria Mador. She is survived by her three sons; Lawrence Chiz and his partner Adam Maxfield of Chicopee, James Chiz of Longmeadow, Michael and Dana Chiz of Longmeadow.
