Born in Ashtabula, Ohio, to the late Frank and Elsie Demeter Gulino. Her Father was a union electrician (IBEW local 673) and mother was a homemaker. They raised six children including Fran. They lived close to Lake Erie enjoying mild summers, and punishing cold snowy winters. Frances attended grade school at Our Mother of Sorrows Elementary then graduated from St. John High School. After graduation she moved to Washington D.C. to work for the F.B.I. She met and married Randy Davidson then moved to his home in Vanleer, Tennessee.
She raised her two sons Ted and Nick Davidson. Frances loved to bake cakes and make homemade crafts for fun. Randy worked in the building trades and Frances was an executive secretary for a local Dickson, Tennessee church insurer General Insurance Underwriters. Frances was active in church and groups that helped folks in crisis. Frances retired from work and travelled with her husband nationwide building truck terminals. Her children and grandchildren would visit at the many job site locations on vacations and holidays. Dementia stole her memories but she lives on in ours.
