Fran Piper, a long time MSBO employee and wife of MSBO’s former Executive Director Wally Piper, passed away on Christmas Day 2007. Fran was Wally’s Executive Secretary and right hand person at MSBO during his tenure, with both of them retiring in 1997. Fran was a dignified person, a hardworking, dedicated employee and MSBO’s “First Lady.” She was an integral part of the team at MSBO during a productive and growing period for the organization. Wally passed away on December 28, 2006.
The family has asked that contributions be made to the Visiting Nurse Services of Michigan Hospice, 825 E. Michigan Avenue, Lansing, MI 48912; the American Lung Association, 403 Seymour Avenue, Lansing MI 48933; or the East Lansing Booster Club, 841 Timber Lane, East Lansing, MI 48823.
Those who knew Wally and Fran know they were a very close couple who enjoyed working together and raised a lovely family of three daughters and eight grandchildren. We extend our sympathies to the children and grandchildren of Wally and Fran.
