Age 71, daughter of the late Marie Weber DiPasquale and Antonino DiPasquale. She graduated from Bishop McMahon High School in 1965 and was able to attend her 50th class reunion in 2015. After graduation, Fran worked at Columbus Hospital and LaFayette Hospital as a Nurse Aide. In the early 70's Fran was introduced to the love of her life, Len Kierzek, by her late brother Chuck; and after a brief courtship they were married on April 12, 1975. Sadly, Len passed away way too young at 46 leaving her widowed at an early age with two children. Fran worked for HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital (formerly LEIR and now Encompass Health) for over 25 years; first as a Nurse Aide, then as a Ward Clerk, and finally the Administrative Assistant to the Director of Nursing for the majority of her career until retirement. She was employee of the year twice. She loved playing games on her Kindle, being active on Facebook and watching anything crime related. Fran was also very proud of her Italian heritage.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Leonard J. Kierzek, Jr; two brothers, Chuck First and Bob First; and her sister-in-law and best friend, Sandra M. Kierzek Buffalari.

Fran is survived by her daughter Marie E. Heberlein (fiance Michael Marsden); her son Leonard J. Kierzek III, her grandsons; her brother-in-law, Larry (Buff) Buffalari, her brothers Vincent DiPasquale, Anthony DiPasquale and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and many wonderful friends.
