Frances Rose Chwialkowski, was born December 23, 1953, in Karlstad, MN., the daughter of Frank and Regina (Kurowski) Chwialkowski. She was baptized at Assumption Catholic Church, in Florian, MN., and confirmed at St. Peter & Paul Catholic Church, Warren, MN.
She attended Strandquist Elementary through 6th grade, 7th grade attended in Argyle, at St. Rose of Lima, then moved to Warren, MN., where she graduated from high school, in 1971. After graduation, Fran moved to Thief River Falls, and worked as a nurses aide at Northwest Medical Center. Fran attended the AVTI for Dental Assisting, at Bemidji, MN., graduating in 1973, as a Registered and Certified Dental Assistant. She returned to Thief River Falls, to work at the hospital, until finding a Dental Assistant job for Falls Dental Office, and later for Dr. Kiesz.
On July 26, 1980, Fran was united in marriage to David Paul Sorvig, at St. Peter & Paul Catholic Church, in Warren, MN. The couple made their home in St. Hilaire, MN., until the summer of 1992, when they moved to Thief River Falls. To this union, two children were born: Jennifer, and Bryan.
In the early 1980's, Fran started a daycare at home. A few years later, she worked at Digi-Key, in the filing and accounts receivable department, and in 1995, she retired due to her illness.
Fran enjoyed spending time fishing at Lake-of-the-woods. She also enjoyed bowling, scrapbooking, playing card games, spending time with family and friends, and going on family vacations with the children. Lately, she enjoyed spending time at their new cabin, at Maple Lake.
Fran was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church, in Red Lake Falls, and was currently a member of St. Bernards Catholic Church, in Thief River Falls. She was active with the Christian Womens group, and enjoyed volunteering at Knox Elementary, when Jennifer and Bryan were there.
