GUARINO, FRANCES MARY

September 9, 2010 3 Condolences

GUARINO,

Frances M. Guarino born August 24, 1955 passed away on September 5th, 2010. She is survived by her father, William Guarino, brother David, sister-in-law Barbara, nephew William, niece Anna and numerous friends. Frances graduated in 1974 from East High School in Phoenix and subsequently pursued a photography degree from Phoenix College. While attending college she worked at Baskin & Robbins where she was promoted to store manager. Her love of photography led her to pursue a second job as Freelance Photographer for the Daily News Sun. She continued doing freelance work until 1996. She then switched careers to become a medical office secretary and later a document control clerk. Frances had a unique personality which brought smiles and laughter to many. Her friends and family enjoyed her eclectic taste in interior design and entertaining, the many “girls’ barbecues,” and her traditional barbeque-grilled Thanksgiving Turkey with roasted green chilies. She enjoyed NFL games and was a loyal 49’ers fan. She was also a committed supporter of animal rescue organizations and was hopelessly dedicated to her rescue feline companions. A Memorial Service will be held at 3:00 PM on Saturday, September 11th, 2010 at Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home, 4800 East Indian School Road, Phoenix AZ. In lieu of flowers please send donations to Best Friends Animal Society, 5001 Angel Canyon Road Kanab, Utah 84741-5000.

    I’m so sorry. Worked with her at the Daily News-Sun. She was a good photographer and I remember her sharp wit and her love of the ’49ers.

    Frances and I attended St. Agnes school together and a kinder person you couldn’t have met. She always had a kind “hello” for me and a smile. The Voita’s send condolences and prayers to Bill and all the family.

    I was her employee from 94 to 96 on 19th ave. She taught about outer image. When I first got hired she showed me two Sundays. One was perfect, just like the advertisement. The other was sort of messy, both had the same amount of ingredients. She said which one tastes better, I was confused. Her point was the one that was advertised tastes better, she was right.
