Frances Elaine Herr's Obituary
Frances Elaine Westcott Fournier Herr
January 31, 1930 to October 25, 2011
Frances died peacefully in her home on October 25th 2011.
Frances was born in Vinton, Iowa to Nina Preston and Ezra Westcott. The family moved to Oregon where she graduated from Commerce High School in Portland Oregon. She married John Fournier and had two sons Steve and Brian. She was a secretary for Quaker Oats and she also worked for Armor Dial. After John's retirement from the OLCC, they purchased and ran a liquor store in Woodburn, Oregon. Following John's death in 1994, Frances met and married Robert Dean Herr of Oregon City on June 23, 1996.
Frances and her husband Bob built their home on 371 Barker in Oregon City and she loved her house and grounds. She had a vegetable and flower garden that she tended which brought her great joy.
Frances is a member of St. John the Apostle Catholic Church in Oregon City, participating regularly in services. After Friday morning mass she enjoyed going out for breakfast with the group.
Frances was an avid china painter and a member of the Oregon Society of China Painters. She was a passionate instructor traveling in and outside of Oregon to conduct seminars for her students. Her china painting is in great demand and her work was loved by many.
Frances and Bob traveled the world together, making many trips to Europe, China, Africa, the Caribbean, the Panama Canal, Alaska and many more.
Frances is survived by her husband Bob, her sons Steve Fournier and Brian Fournier, her Granddaughter Hayley Fournier, her brother Homer Westcott of Portland, Oregon, sisters Gladys Greer of New Mexico, Ruth Wiese, Doris Durrell and Linda Gillespie of Portland, Oregon.
Frances will be sadly missed by all of her family and friends.
Funeral mass will be held at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church on November the 2nd. Rosary at 10:30 followed by mass at 11:00. Private internment will be at St. John Cemetery in Oregon City.
The family would appreciate any donations to be sent to St. Jude's Hospital for children with cancer.
