Francesca Ummel, 65, of McDonough, passed away Saturday, May 12, 2018 at her home, surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Bradenton, FL to the late Phillip and JoAnne Lennart Masters. Francesca was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. She loved the mountains, going to the beach and shopping with her daughters. “Fran” was an avid animal lover, was an avid frog collector, loved to play bingo, and drive in her car with her radio playing her country music loudly. Her family loved to taunt her by calling her “Old, old Granny Franny” and the inside joke between she and Bruce was “Martha and Henry”. She will be dearly missed.
