Mrs. Francis “Fran” Cammaert (nee Elson) passed away on October 1, 2016 after a battle with cancer. Fran was born 73 years ago to the late Calvin and Mable Elson. She is survived by husband of 46 years, Walter Cammaert, her children Jeff (Marcie), Robert (Sharon), Jenni (Eric), Mike (Stacy) and her grandchildren Ryley, Ben, Sydney, Jackson, Ian, James and Samuel. She will be sadly missed by sister Caren (Jim) Fisher, sister-in-law Linda Elson and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her brother Mel Elson, father-in-law and mother-in-law Albert & Louise Cammaert.
Fran always gave of herself to help others and her community. She was an avid gardener, a lifetime member of Blenheim Minor Hockey, a member of the St. Mary’s CWL with whom she founded the Lenten Lunches, she sat on the church council and the school parent council amongst others. She had many special friends who will miss her smile, her laughter and her unconditional support. The family would like to thank the nurses on the 4th floor of the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance and Dr. Sharngoe for the kindness that you showed to our wife and mother.
