Frances Arrabito Obituary
Frances was raised and educated in Chicago, working as an administrative assistant until her 1950 marriage and consequent relocation to Durango in 1952. She dedicated herself to raising her family and lived independently there until the age of 93. Her biscotti, torte & Sugo recipes live on.
Frances is survived by her loving sons John (Deb) and James (Jessica), as well as her granddaughters Analise, Alexis, and Adrian. She was predeceased by her beloved husband John in 1984.
A service to honor and celebrate Frances's life will be held at 9am on May 29, 2024, at Greenmount Cemetery in Durango, CO.
May her soul rest in peace.

To John & Family,
I will always think of Frances with her beautiful smile that she never failed to give me. It made my day! Blessings on all of her family who miss her. I'm sure.
Warm hugs,
