Marie France Johnson July 23, 1940-June 20, 2020 Marie "Fran" Frances Johnson, 79, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, June 20th, 2020 at her home in Wellington, Florida. She was a beautiful and kind wife, mother, grandmother, and friend who was dearly loved and will be greatly missed. Fran was born on July 23, 1940 in Queens, NY to Daniel McCafferty and Pauline McConville. She was the eldest of her 2 beautiful sisters Margaret and Maureen. Fran and George met while he was a police officer in Brooklyn. They met at the courthouse in January of 1971 and George was in love at first sight. He refused to take no for an answer when asking for Fran's number. They dated for one month before George "popped" the question. They married on July 10th, 1971. They would be married 50 years this July. They went on to have five children together, Brian, Kevin, Kerry, Michael and Colleen and seven grandchildren, Colby, Katey, Brady, Emmy, Bryce, Aubrey, and Charley. Fran and George raised their children on Long Island where they spent most of their time devoted to their children's sports and coaching on the soccer fields. They moved to Coral Springs, Florida in 1996 and then to Wellington, Florida in 2012 to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Fran had a gentle soul and will be missed dearly. She is now our angel in heaven. A mass service will take place on June 30th, 2020 at 11am at Saint Rita's in Wellington.
