Escondido - Frances Velma Ayers went to be with her Savior on Sunday, April 21, 2024.
Fran was born November 17, 1925 in Albany, Oregon. She was raised and spent her entire life in California. For the past 55 years she has resided in Silverado Canyon, CA and Escondido, CA. The last ten months of her life were spent at Meadowbrook Village Christian Retirement Community in Escondido where she was lovingly cared for by family and an amazing team of caregivers.
