FRANCES A. " FRAN " WEBBER

Frances A. 'œFran'� Webber, 61, died peacefully on Friday, October 22, 2010 at her home after a three-year battle with brain cancer. Fran was born June 20, 1949, to Marietta and JB Harris in San Angelo, where she graduated from Central High School in 1967. A year later she met and wed her husband, US Air Force Sgt. Mark Webber. Fran accompanied him on military assignments to Florida and Colorado, as well as the Panama Canal Zone, where son Michael Donovan was born, and the island of Crete in the Mediterranean. Fran and her family moved to Alaska on military assignment in 1980 and, with the purchase of a house, Anchorage became '˜home'™. She worked as a customer service representative for the Army/Air Force Exchange Service at Elmendorf AFB, AK, before becoming a commercial teller with the National Bank of Alaska. NBA senior officials soon recognized Fran'™s talents and promoted her to teller coordinator, and later to Human Resources Officer and Assistant Vice President. Fran enjoyed traveling and her position as HRO/AVP afforded her the opportunity to visit many of the bank'™s branches across Alaska and the communities they served. In 1999 Fran retired from the banking business and left Alaska with her husband in a motor home to travel and see America, visiting family members along the way. For almost two years they toured national and state parks, from the Pacific Northwest to the Eastern Seaboard. Fran returned to San Angelo to help family members care for her ailing father. She stayed in West Texas following her father'™s passing and continued to travel occasionally. One of her favorite destinations was Las Vegas. She enjoyed the production shows, great buffets and competing with the one-armed bandits. Per her request, Fran was cremated so that her ashes may be scattered in many of the placed she loved to visit, from the slopes of Mt. McKinley in Denali N.P., AK, to the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. Arrangements are with Robert Massie Funeral Home. Fran is survived by her husband, Mark; and son, Officer Michael Webber of the San Angelo Police Department; mother, Marietta and brothers; Gary Harris and Don Harris of Big Spring, Texas; brother Jim Harris of St. Clairsville, Ohio; and sister Nancy Mabry of Hobbs, New Mexico.
