Frances Ann (Bringle) LeTendre was born January 9, 1947, to Floyd Bringle, of Norway, and Delores Kathrine Lefto, of Le Sueur, Minnesota.  She was the first born of four children.  She attended Washington School in St. Paul and graduated with the Class of 1965.  She had three children: Michael, Kelly, and Stevie; plus her bonus child Curley, who ate the best of all her children, enjoying homemade meatballs and the best cuts of meat, and was walked daily by Lloyd Beske (now deceased),  the love of her life.

After many years on the east side of St. Paul, she moved to Spring Valley, Wisconsin and raised three grandchildren: Mya, Owen, and Elena.  Frannie enjoyed making cakes for the kids and the school office ladies.  She was also a part of the “neighborhood watch” from her 2nd story window on the center of Main Street, apparent by the screen marks on her nose.

She loved visiting her brother and sister-in-law in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She loved Spring Valley, especially after moving to the health care center where she received excellent care by the staff and made a lot of new friends.  She was really enjoying life again, although cut short by a severe head injury and could not recover from.  She will be missed by the family and friends she made.

Preceded in death by her parents; 2 sons: Michael Bringle and Steven Richard LeTendre Jr; sister Delores Blosemore; brother Kenneth Bringle, nephews Jeff and Scott.

She is survived by her daughter Kelly Lynn (Bringle) Brown-Rozowski and her husband Matt; grandchildren: Max Rozowski; Aimee (Rick) Gress (Matt’s); Andrew Slinger; Crystal Bringle; Mya Beske, Owen Knuston, Elena Knuston; great grandchildren Geno, Liam and LaLa (Elianna); and brother Daniel ‘Butch” (Lori) Bringle; and nephews Danny, Chris, Timmy, Robert and Eddie; other relatives and friends.
