The fire and EMS family of Fran Sickles invites you to join them in honoring her memory and celebrating a life well lived, devoted to community service.

Fran passed away peacefully on May 17, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and cherished memories.

A Celebration of Life will be Sunday, May 31, 2026, from 2-4 p.m. at the Greenville Fire Company Norton Hill Station 11 T.M. Elliot Lane.

Fran was fully committed to serving the community, especially emergency services. She was a life member of the Greenville Fire Company, Greenville Auxiliary, and Greenville Rescue. She was a board member of Greene EMS, Inc and the Greene County EMS Council. She was also a member of the Greene County Fire Police Association. She held many positions over the years, holding the position of treasurer in many of the organizations she served.

Many knew Fran as “my Dental Hygienist" as she worked for Greenville Dental for many years. She has left her mark on the Greenville and Greene County community.

In accordance with her final wishes, Frances has been cremated and requested that no formal viewing be held. She valued the simple and sincere connections made throughout her life and preferred to be remembered through stories and shared laughter and food.

Frances will be interred at a private ceremony where she will be laid to rest alongside her husband, Robert Sickles, who preceded her in death in 1997.

Greenville Fire and Auxiliary and Greenville Rescue as well as her family express our deep gratitude for the support and condolences received during this time.
