Frances Mary Devine, beloved daughter and sister, died unexpectedly at home in Pleasantville.  She was 48.

She was born November 25, 1972 to Frances (Conklin) Devine and Richard W. Devine Jr. in Yonkers. A lifelong resident of Pleasantville, she attended local schools and graduated from Pleasantville High School. When “Franny” was a little girl, she was the varsity cheerleader’s mascot and cheered for her big brother’s football games. A swimmer from an early age she really was our “water baby.” Like her father and brothers, she was a fan of local high school sports and all things Notre Dame.  

Fran was a licensed beautician and worked for many years in the Pleasantville-Thornwood area. Her sweet and loving disposition will be missed by all who knew her.  

She was predeceased by her grandparents Mabel (Carlson) and Richard W. Devine Sr., Frances (Hazard) and James W. Conklin, father Richard W. Devine Jr., brother Donald AJ Mills, aunts Mary Devine, and Phyllis Devine Mooney, and uncles James and Steven Devine.
