Frances J. Bruns, 96, passed away peacefully at Life Care Center in Mount Vernon, Washington, on Feb. 24, 2018. She was a truly remarkable lady, an avid sports fan, and mentally sharp to the very end.
Frances was born in Buffalo, North Dakota, on Dec. 28, 1921 to parents Holger and Elizabeth Rasmussen.
She is survived by her daughter Kaye Shaw; granddaughter Michael-ann Agoranos (Paul); grandsons Alek and Gabriel Agoranos; sisters Anolea Eddy (Sis) and Bettye Van Putten; brothers Robert Rasmussen and Donn Rasmussen (Sharon); well as many nieces and nephews.
Frances was preceded in death by her parents; three brothers, Aaron, Raymond and Kenneth Rasmussen; and her husband, Fred Bruns, to whom she was married for 53 years.
Her family sincerely thanks the entire staff at Life Care Center for the care of Frances, and for the love that was expressed for her during the three years she lived there. She will be missed, but not forgotten. She is delightfully dancing with Fred (Daddy) in Heaven, and directing the daily activities. Her sister Anolea (Sis) will now take over the directing in this life.
Arrangements are under the care of Hawthorne Funeral Home of Mount Vernon.
