Frances Ann Gillette, 91, died on October 30, 2022.  She is survived by her brother James Martin, three sisters-Margaret, Nancy and Judy, six of her eight children-Greg, Jeff, Gerard, Joel, Julianna, and John.  Fourteen grandchildren and one great grandchild also survive.  Frances was born on March 21, 1931 in Bloomington, Indiana.  She worked for several years as a registered nurse in Indianapolis, where she met her lifetime love and husband of 52yrs., Dr. John Gillette.  John and Frances were married in 1953 and moved to Tucson in 1956.  Passionately devoted to her husband and children, Frances also had an intense love for all animals and worked as a docent at the Reid Park Zoo for many years.  Generous with her time and resources, she was kind and helpful to anyone who had the pleasure of making her acquaintance.  We will greatly miss her and we will fondly remember her always.
