Cancer Battler Succumbs After 10-Year Fight

Mary Frenchman of Long Valley courageously battled stage IV terminal breast cancer for 10 and-a-half years.

She fought the disease quietly and kept it "well-hidden," according to her husband, Eric Frenchman. She passed on June 12 at 46.

Frenchman is survived by her son, Jacob, her daughter, Kaela, and her husband.

Memorial services were held Sunday at Zion Lutheran Church. The Frenchman family is sitting Shiva Monday and Tuesday at 13 Briarwood Road in Long Valley with services at 7:30 p.m.

The Frenchmans are members of both Temple Hatikvah in Flanders and Zion Lutheran Church. Meals can be sent to the family's home, and donations in Mary's honor can be made to Temple Hatikvah.
