Frances June (Pirani) Lunny 1942 – 2019 Yarmouth Port - It is with great sadness that the family of Frances (Pirani) Lunny shares her passing on Tuesday, May 21, 2019, at the age of 77, at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Plymouth. Frances will be missed by her beloved husband of 54 years James Lunny of Yarmouth Port, and their children Lisa Wiedersheim of Hopkinton and Lauren Brennan of Westborough, their spouses Leo Wiedershiem and Ralph Brennan, and her 5 grandchildren Collin, Martin and Alfred Wiedersheim and Katie and Heather Whitney. Born on April 12, 1942 to the late Frank and Ruby Pirani of West Springfield, and preceded in death by her brothers Martin and William.

For 35 years Frances was a nurse at the VA Medical Center in Northampton the last 15 working with veterans suffering with PTSD. She retired to the Cape in 2007. She enjoyed many years with the Yarmouth Garden Club, and used her gardening talents to change her home into a garden that would attract people to slow down as they drove past. Frances always enjoyed a good conversation, spending time with family and friends, traveling, cards, dominos and a sunny day at the beach.

Family and friends are invited to gather on Thursday, May 30, 2019 from 4–7 PM at Hallett Funeral Home, 273 Station Ave, S. Yarmouth, MA. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, May 31, 2019 at 10 AM at St. Pius X Church, Station Ave, S. Yarmouth, MA.

Her smile, laugh and giving personality will be missed by many. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions in Frances’ name may be made explicitly to the Senior Behavioral Health Center Attn: Eve Masiello, Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital, 275 Sandwich St. Plymouth MA.

Dear Jim, Lisa and Lauren and families. Such a loss...such a sad,sad time for you all. But what wonderful memories of Fran, her warmth, & her kindness,and of course her loving ways and beautiful spirit. Fran was so good at whatever she did....her career as a nurse, as a homemaker,as a friend, neighbor, as a gardner, a community participant,as a grandma, mother in law, mother to wonderful girls, and child rearer and as a dear, loving wife to Jim. Fran always felt more like a sister to Jean and Susan and myself. She is so loved by so many and will be missed...Always.
