Frances Elaine Emmer

April 9, 1942 - August 27, 2018

Frances Elaine (Glazer) Emmer was born in Kansas City, Mo. to Norman and Jean Glazer. She passed away at home after a brief illness with her children, family and friends by her side. Fran grew up in Kansas City. She made and kept many lifelong friends while attending Southwest High School, Shawnee Mission East and the University of Florida. In her working life, Fran held and enjoyed varied occupations, but being the Owner/Publisher of The Women's Yellow Pages for ten years utilized her many abilities and filled her with pride. Over the years, Fran had many hobbies and interests, including an enduring attendance of the theatre. She truly found another home and family when she began taking art classes, finally dedicating the time to explore and hone her exceptional artistic talent. Fran was beautiful inside and out and that beauty shone through in every aspect of her life. She was loved and will be remembered for her kindness, generosity, thoughtfulness and sense of humor. She was a source of support, strength and inspiration to her family and friends. Fran was a devoted daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, niece and friend--especially in the most difficult of times. She was the kind of mother every child would love and be lucky to have. Her loving care extended not only to the people in her life but to her beloved dogs as well. Fran was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Leonard and aunts and uncles. She will be greatly missed by her children Jenna (Dan), Jay (Lindsey and grandson Jack) and Laura, extended family and many, many friends. A celebration of life was held Sunday, September 9th, at the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park, Ks. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Wayside Waifs, The Humane Society of Greater KC, Great Plains SPCA, KCUR, KCPT, Planned Parenthood, Harvesters, The Heritage Center Art Program of The Jewish Community Center or the charity of your choice.
