A resident of Pacific Palisades since 1959, Frances Schy passed away on April 17. She was 87. Born in Chicago, Frances moved to California in 1947, where she raised her five children: Mike, Linda, Laura, Katie, Mary and stepdaughter Diane Schnair. She worked at Palisades Travel from 1981 until 1986, when she retired to be a full-time grandmother to Alisa Wolfson and Catherine Reibel. As grandmother to Wiley Uretz, Anthony Cimolino, Patrick Uretz, Suzanne Cimolino, Tony Ureta, and Hank Ureta, Granny Franny frequently attended basketball games, dance recitals and polo matches. Fran had a legendary sense of humor. An avid Lakers fan, she rarely missed watching a game on television. She was also known for her daily two-mile walks through the village, where she often stopped for lunch at Mort’s. Although she had many friends, she always preferred to spend time with family. The family will gather to honor her life later this month.
