Frances "Fran" C. Clisham, 73, of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia died August 6, 2024 in Purcellville, VA surrounded by family.

She was born March 24, 1951 in Tampa, FL and grew up in Grove City, PA.

Fran was a loving mother, grandmother, friend and co-worker.

She was preceded in death by her sister, Rosemary, brother, Buddy and her parents, Dr. Edgar Cole and Onelia Hernandez Cole.

Fran loved the arts and nature. She had an affinity for hummingbirds and flowers, and could be found eating crabs legs and shellfish for hours on end.  As a child she was a member of the Plaidettes. She was a true hippie, a flower child of the 1960's. She was an energetic activist and always stood up for those less fortunate.

Fran had three children who she raised with passion and purpose. Her professional career thrived during the dot-com boom where she worked as a Network Operations Manager until she followed her calling to work in the holistic health industry. She influenced many people with her larger-than-life energy, positive attitude, and kindness.

Fran was dedicated to her grandchildren who will always remember their eccentric Granny Franny.

She is survived by her son, Simon Borger, her daughter, Jennifer Borger, her son, Philip "P.J." Clisham, seven grandchildren, Riley Zimmerman, Julia Borger, Anne Borger, Finn Zimmerman, Lucas Clisham, Miles Clisham and Brooks Clisham.

A celebration of her life will be held in Purcellville VA on August 17, 2024 from 11am – 3pm.  Please contact her son, PJ Clisham (703.296.9077), for further details.  In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the American Cancer Society.
