Theodore Engine Francis, fondly known as Ted, passed away on October 20, 2024, at the age of 84. Born in Rochester, Minnesota, on November 18, 1939, to Norman and Margaret Francis, Ted lived a life filled with dedication to his country, hard work, and a deep love for his family.
In June 1957, Ted enlisted in the U.S. Navy, proudly serving until March 1961, after which he continued in the reserves until January 1964. Following his military service, Ted built a career in construction, a profession that reflected his strong work ethic and commitment to building and creating.
On December 3, 1965, Ted married the love of his life, Delia, and together they raised a family that became his greatest source of pride and joy. Ted was a devoted father to Stephen [Emily] Thompson, Cathy [Mike] Walker, Theresa [George] Rodriguez, and Ted [Barbara] Francis Jr. He was a proud grandfather to seven grandsons and cherished his ten great-grandchildren, finding his greatest happiness in spending time with them.
Ted was an avid fan of football and NASCAR, enjoying the excitement of the game and the race. However, above all, he loved being surrounded by his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, with whom he shared countless precious moments.
He is preceded in death by his parents, his beloved wife Delia, and his daughter Deanna. Ted’s legacy of love, hard work, and dedication to family will live on through the memories shared by those who knew him best.
Ted will be deeply missed, but his memory will forever remain in the hearts of his family and friends.
