Frances N. Sortman
Age 88, of Kettering, passed away Saturday, January 8, 2011 at Heartland of Kettering.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Elwood Robert in 1987.
Frances is survived by daughter and son-in-law, Ruth (Lynn) and Jon Meinke; grandsons, Brian and Jeff; great grandchildren, Amanda, Tabitha, Taylor and Justin; sister, Minnie Smith of Pennsylvania and numerous nieces and nephews also of Pennsylvania; special friends, Betty Linsmayer and John & Anna Monnet.
Frances prided herself in her flower growing and nurturing them until her health began to fail. She took pictures of them year after year adding a few more every year. She also enjoyed playing shuffleboard with one year winning 1st place blue ribbon, playing bingo and cards. But mostly she enjoyed helping others whether it be driving them somewhere, going out to eat, visiting nursing homes or just being a caregiver. Frances always had a smile on her face and was known for that at Heartland. She was a member of Memorial United Church of Christ and Kettering Suburban Senior Citizens.
The family would like to give special thanks to the nurses and staff at Heartland of Kettering and also to Heartland Hospice for the love and care they provided.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. Arrangements in care of Newcomer Funeral Home (North Chapel). In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Heartland Hospice Memorial Fund in Frances' memory. www.heartlandhospicefund.org or call 1-800-427-1902 ext. 5989.
