	They had eight children. John, the oldest of their children, died in 2010. Francie’s husband Bob died in 2011.

Tek had come to Saranac Lake to help cure his tuberculosis. Tek had a camp on Lower Saranac Lake, which he shared with Dr. Johnston and his family.

	Francie leaves her Saranac River island camp to her seven remaining children. Her country home in Washington, Michigan, has a few rocks and trees from Saranac Lake, adding to the many other plants and trees that she and her husband cultivated over the years. These plantings surround the house they designed and built in the Detroit suburb, making for an oasis where one can readily find peace. The other oasis she leaves is Kingsbury School, located in Oxford, Michigan. After sending her eight children to this Country Day School from 1962 to 1984, she worked as a tireless volunteer at the school in all necessary departments in order to help it survive. She did this to help support an environment that she believed was a good way to nurture children, encouraging kids to ~~<span class="quotations">“love~~ to learn.”		Francie leaves her Saranac River island camp to her seven remaining children.
