Notes for: Frances Johnson Kinnaird

I have seen her name as Kinnard and Kinnaird. Lorman Lundsten gave it as Kinnaird. I'll go with that for now.

The following came from a web site on the Timothy Johnson family:

Frances was born November 24, 1915. After her mother died, she lived with William A. and Jennie Johnson in Tilbury and later in Windsor. She received nurse's training at a hospital in London, Ont.. She married Ralph Bodine who worked for Fisher Body. They lived in Detroit, for several years in Pittsburgh, and then returned to Detroit.

Ralph and Frances had three children: David, born August 19, 1953, who married Mary Kay Barry in April, 1987; Sandra Lee, born January 1, 1955 and Patricia Ann, born August 5, 1956.

Ralph died in 1966. When I tracked Frances down in the 1980's, she was living not far from us in Livonia. A marvelously cheerful and friendly lady, she shared a good many pictures and memories with us. On one occasion, she arranged for her sisters come to her home from Windsor, although they were quite frail, so that we could all have dinner together and tell stories. Frances died a few years ago of cancer.
