Frances Fabian

Frances Fabian, age 80, died on Friday, October 21, 2016 after a 10-year battle with cancer. Frances dedicated her life to healing others. Her nursing career spanned over 40 years and she retired from St. Joseph's Medical Center in Albuquerque, NM. Being a true humanitarian, Frances would fill her van with food, clothing, and household items and drive to Mexico, distributing to those in need. Her favorite hobby was doll collecting. Frances was preceded in death by six brothers and one sister. She is survived by her sister, Mary Golobic; and several nieces and nephews. A special thanks goes out to the caregivers, Betty Fabian and Debbie Martinez, and the staff of Hospice of New Mexico, especially Leslie and Valerie.
