On April 11, 2025 in Winnipeg, MB. Frances, widow of the late Ronald Davie (1936-1993), mother of Elizabeth, and grandmother of Devin, passed away.
Frances was born in Winnipeg, grew up in St. Vital with one brother Robert, and one sister Sylvia, both now residing in Ontario.
Frances and Ron resided in Thompson, MB. 1970-1978, where Ron was employed with Lambair (30 years). They then moved to St. Vital and spent many happy weekends at their cottage at White Lake.
After Ron’s passing, Frances resumed her music studies at the U of M, acquiring diplomas in ARCT Performance and Teachers, and Licentiate of Music with a mark of 94. One of the highlights in her musical life was giving a piano recital at Steinway Hall in New York City. Frances enjoyed her piano students in her home studio in coordination with the U of M Music Preparatory Division.
Frances had many interests in life – music, people, books, food, and travelling extensively. Her Sisters in Beta Sigma Phi Sorority and friends at the Fermor YMCA were especially dear to her.
Funeral services will be held at Glen Lawn Funeral Home and Cemetery, 455 Lagimodiere Blvd Tuesday, April 22 at 2:00 p.m.
Donations may be made to the Desautels Faculty of Music Annual Scholarship Fund.

Fran was a friendly person who was interested in people. She was part of the Y friends & attended many coffee & lunch sessions after Aquasize exercises. She performed musical piano concerts in her home where she invited her friends to share the experience. Rest in peace my friend. You are missed. - Posted by: Jean McDonald (St vital Y friend) on: May 06, 2025
