Frances M. Durbin

FRANCES “FRAN” M. DURBIN, 62, of Fults, Illinois, passed away on Thursday, September 18, 2025, at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri.

She was born to the late Martin Harvey and Pearl (nee Bievenue) Reinhold on April 11, 1963, in Red Bud, Illinois.

Fran had worked as an office manager for Mississippi Lime in Prairie du Rocher for over 26 years.

She was of the Catholic Faith and had been involved in the Chamber of Commerce and the Historical Committee, both in Prairie du Rocher.

Fran was affectionately known as the "Dancing Queen." She was a true social butterfly, illuminating the hearts of everyone she encountered with her vibrant spirit.

In every gathering, Frances was the life of the party, her infectious energy and magnetic personality drawing friends and family into a whirl of fun and laughter. She had an extraordinary gift for making everyone feel welcome, ensuring that no one ever felt left out. She hoped that everyone had a “Fran”-tic time.

She had a love for the outdoors and enjoyed spending time hunting.

Fran will be profoundly missed, but her spirit will dance on in our hearts forever.
