Mrs. Lintner was a 1947 graduate of Remington High School. Growing up in the Rensselaer/Remington area she moved to Goodland, Lafayette, Huntington, Noblesville, Winchester, and Anderson, following John’s career in the grocery business and finally moving to Frankfort in 1985.

She was a natural antique buyer, shopping with her daughter and relative, to search for the special item.

She also enjoyed reading, decorating, collecting angels and dolls, sewing (having made an entire Tiny Tears wardrobe for her daughter’s doll one Christmas), and writing poems and songs. Family was one of the most important aspects of Francine’s life. She always enjoyed hosting the annual family reunion and giving recognition parties for special family occasions.
