She is also survived by three brothers, Harry Starnes in Virginia, Harold Starnes and Carl Starnes in East Tennessee, a sister, Dorothy Viklund of Torrance, CA, and many nieces and nephews. Fran grew up in Baileyton, Tennessee and attended Tusculum College in Greeneville before working for the Dept. of Defense in Washington, DC.
