McManus, Frances M. (Kelly) of Quincy, passed away peacefully at home on June 1, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.
Family, faith, and friendship were the cornerstones of Fran’s life. She found great joy in helping to raise her two beloved grandsons, Thomas and CJ, who were the light of her life. Fran and her late husband, Tom, shared a love for Boston College Football and enjoyed sailing together. Fran spent many years as the Executive Vice President for NCPS and later worked for the MBTA Retirement Fund. She was an active member of the Merrymount Association, participating in many neighborhood events, and was a proud founding member of the Ocean View Lodge, alongside her favorite son-in-law, Chuck. Fran will be remembered for her unwavering Catholic faith, her loving and nurturing spirit, and her exceptional culinary skills.
Fran was the devoted wife of the late Thomas L. McManus for 49 years. She was a loving mother to Andrée Rose McManus-Jaehnig and her husband, Charles Jr., of Quincy. Fran was a cherished “Nonni” to Thomas McManus Jaehnig and Christopher “CJ” Jaehnig, both of Quincy. She was the daughter of the late Francis Kelly and Rose E. (Kelley), and the sister of the late Helen Kelly, George Kelly, Margaret McNamee, and James Kelly. Fran is also survived by her dear sister-in-law Inge Kelly, of Oklahoma, as well as many nieces, nephews, and extended family.
