    • Obituary:

      Ashland--- Frances I. Carney, 79, peacefully entered into rest Thursday, October 22, 2020, at Aroostook House of Comfort, with her family at her side. She was born July 17, 1941 in Fielding, NB, Canada, the youngest of ten children born to the late Glenn and Laura (Guiggy) MacDonald.

      Fran last worked as a waitress at former Shirley & Harold’s Restaurant, Presque Isle, for over 10 years, until her retirement in 2000. Previously she also worked with Burrells/New England Press Clipping and was a CNA at Presque Isle Nursing Home. Fran loved to go to BINGO with her husband, frequenting the American Legion in Caribou, and loved to chat the evening away. She was exceptionally friendly and sociable and could turn a complete stranger into one of her best friends in minutes. Her greatest accomplishment was her huge heart, which she never hesitated to share with her husband, children, grandchildren, and all friends near and far.

      She is survived by: her beloved husband of 38 years, Rodney A. Carney of Ashland; two children, Cheryl (Melvin) Martin and her husband Marc of Ashland, and Kenneth Melvin of Presque Isle; three step children whom she called her own, Torrey Carney of Melbourne, FL, Buffy Carney of Frederickton, Canada, and Justin Carney and his wife Alyssa of Washburn; one sister, Shirley Bubar of Ontario, Canada; ten grandchildren; five great grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

      Besides her parents, Fran was predeceased by one son, Keith Melvin, and eight siblings, Clarence, Harold and Doug MacDonald, Gladys Underhill, Hazel McDougall, Elva Brigs, Rena McNeill, and Helen Kinney.

      Funeral services for Fran will be held at 1 PM on Saturday, October 31, 2020, at Fairmount Cemetery, Houlton Road, Presque Isle. Condolences may be shared online or mailed to: Rodney Carney, PO Box 912, Ashland, Maine 04732, or Cheryl Melvin Martin & Kenneth Melvin, PO Box 443, Presque Isle, Maine 04769.
