Frances "Fran" Bilik McNeill

Frances "Fran" Bilik McNeill, age 73, completed her beautiful and faithful earthly life on Friday, August 1, 2025, at her residence in Marianna, Florida.

Fran was born July 23, 1952, at home in Astoria, New York and was the third child of the late Rudolph Michael Bilik and Marilyn Frances Mullen Bilik. Fran grew up loving animals of all kinds including cats, and the animals her husband, Ernest, would catch and bring home. Fran loved to travel and visit new places across the United States and abroad. She was an avid bird watcher, she especially loved watching humming birds and cardinals, and most recent received a camera bird feeder. She had a green thumb, loved watching movies and shopping on QVC. She had a passion for music and enjoyed playing her violin and singing. Above all, Fran loved her family and her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Preceding her in death were her parents.
