Frances Sterle, born to Agnes Zgonc Sterle & Louis Sterle in 1917. Frances was the youngest daughter in her family of 12, including her namesake, five year old Fanny, who died before she was born.
At age 14, Frances left school to care for her mother who was terminally ill, along with having the responsibility of running the household for her father and brothers. This overwhelming responsibility and the loss of her own mother at such a young age impacted her entire life.
Married to Nick "Babe" Bailey for 64 years, they lived independently in their own home, until his death at age 91, in 2005.
Fanny loved spending time with her sisters and nieces, dancing the polka, painting and restoring items, baking and took much pride in her home. She was an active member of St Nicholas Byzantine Catholic Church and a founding member of the Allenside Athletic Club Women's Auxiliary and was involved in many volunteer activities for both, along with being a member of the Kenmore Senior Citizens' group and the Slovene Lodge.
