Frances Glockler Hein, 89, died at Harbor Health Care Facility, Port Charlotte.

Frances was born Oct. 7, 1923 in Pasadena California to George and Ruby Cliff Glockler. She is survived by her sons, David and wife Rosalie of Billings Mt., Steven and his wife Katharine of Wilmington NC., James and wife Suzanne of Saugus California and daughter in law Susan Hein of Bolton CT.,12 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. Frances was preceded in death by her husband Richard, her son Richard W. and her sister Margaret.

Frances graduated from the University High School in Minnesota and Iowa State. It was in Iowa that she met Richard and they married in 1944. Having 4 boys over 6 year time span kept her busy but being a mom was the delight of her life. She cared for and nurtured her sons, giving them roots and a foundation for living then wings to set them free to grow and mature. In 1957 they moved to Pittsburgh PA where Frances continued to raise her sons, never missing a sporting event, and always having a delicious meal made in a small kitchen when everyone arrived home for dinner.

Frances loved math and in 1964 accepted a teaching position at Winchester Thurston School in Shadyside Pittsburgh. There for over 20 years she taught algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. One of her most challenging accomplishments was teaching algebra to twin sisters who were blind. In addition to her teaching and raising her family Frances loved playing golf, bridge, her affiliation with PEO, and family vacations especially the annual Canadian fishing trips. Frances’ faith was always important to her and became increasingly so when she and Richard retired to Port Charlotte, Fl. There they became active members of the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church where she was instrumental in the development of their school and participated regularly in the healing ministry of the church.

A Memorial Service will be held on at the Good Shepherd Church 401 Henry St, Punta Gorda Fl with the Rev. Roy Tuff officiating.
