Frances Antoinette Zola (Perdrix) of Dennis Port, passed away peacefully on February 22, 2022 in Barnstable at the age of 86.  Frances was born on January 3, 1936 in Cambridge, MA to the late Ralph L. and Agnes Mae (Ellis) Perdrix.  She was one of six children.
 
She met her husband, Joseph P. Zola, who was the love of her life, on the boat from Boston to Provincetown when they were teenagers.  They blissfully became engaged on the Charles River and were married in January 1954.  This beautiful union produced six children.
 
Spending time with family is what she loved most of all.  She enjoyed cooking (some of the best sauce and meatballs, ever), gardening, hydrangeas, dining out, Race Point, summers in P-Town, and a good sweet Southern Comfort Manhattan.  Her sense of humor and smile will sorely be missed.  We all have wonderful memories to cherish.
 
Frances was a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother and friend, always thinking of others.  She is survived by her six children:  Frank (Sandy), Kim DeAtley (Gurney), Jodie Gimblett (Dan), Joey, James (Darren) and John (Dawn). She is also survived by nine grandchildren:  Joseph, Dan, Krysta, Acadia, Tayla, Brianne, Austin, Zack and Jake and four great grandchildren: Declan, Makayla, Evan and Rylee as well as her siblings:  Roger, Suzanne, Jolie and many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.  She was predeceased by her brother, J.R. and sister, Beth.
 
Family and friends are invited to call at the Hallett Funeral Home, 273 Station Ave., South Yarmouth, MA on Saturday, March 5, 2022 from 10:00 -11:00 A.M. A private family interment will follow at Ancient Cemetery.
