Mary Frances “Fran” Peterson, 74, of Galion, passed away Friday afternoon, July 24, 2015, at Millcreek Nursing in Galion.
She was born June 4, 1941, in Circleville, and was the daughter of Charles Thomas and Catherine Ann (Brennan) Goeller.

Fran was an avid reader and enjoyed studying Ohio history and ghost stories. She attended the Circleville Pumpkin Show many times and liked visiting the Hocking Hills area. But most of all, she loved spending time with her grandchildren and her dog, Bailey.
