She was born June 12, 1955, in Topeka, Kansas, the daughter of Bruce and Nancy (Shell) Hurd. She graduated from Topeka West High School in 1973, and went on to attend The University of Kansas, graduating in 1978.
Growing up an only child, Francie kept in touch with many friends and relatives, was a proud fan of her Jayhawks, spent weekends taking her dog, George, to the dog park, and above all enjoyed being a mother of four and grandmother of five.

Survivors include her four children, J. Alex Herman, Carly Slattery (Kayle), Maddie Walker (Stephen), Zach Jeffries; five grandchildren Brayden and Sammie Staley-Herman, J.T. Slattery, and Emerson and Stevie Walker; and her dog, George.
She was preceded in death by both of her parents, and a brother that died in infancy.
