Frances Martynowicz

Frances Martynowicz, from “The Hill”, entered eternal rest on November 27, 2024. She was born on May 10, 1951, to the late Marvin and Anne (Puglisi) Howerton.

Frances is survived by her daughter, Michelle Martynowicz Milbourne of Leawood, KS, her grandchildren, Ari and Ava, her brother, Sam Howerton of St. Louis, her nephew, Mark Anthony Howerton, her cousins, Mary Sommerer, Patti Fischer, Dave Puglisi and her dear friend, Kay Braswell.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Ted Howerton.

Frances enjoyed riding horses and was an avid animal lover.

As an act of generosity, she made the decision to donate her body to Washington University School of Medicine. This selfless choice will aid in the education and training of future medical professionals, contributing to advancements in medical research and understanding.
