Francine Darlene Gillam

ANGLETON - Mrs. Francine Darlene Gillam passed from this life Friday, July 17, 2020, in Liverpool.

Francine was born January 9, 1972 in Texas City to Francis Vernon Kelly and Darlene (Canter) Cherry. She had a heart as big as Texas and loved fiercely. Francine was proud to be a mother to her children and fur-babies and was especially proud to be a grandmother. She was the rock and heartbeat of her household. Her favorite time of year was Halloween and always looked forward to decorating for the occasion. She was full of life – dancing anywhere she could but also enjoyed sharing a peaceful moment on the porch with the love of her life, Bobby. The absence of Francine has left a heartache no one can heal but her love is our memory that no one can steal.   

She was preceded in death by her father; brothers, Frank Kelly, Wayne Pierce; brother-in-law, Curtis Eddins.
