Frances “Frankie” Everett Steinley, 75, of Port Richey, Florida, passed away on October 12, 2019, at the Mid-Pinellas Hospice Care Center in Pinellas Park, Florida, following an extended illness. She was born in Hartford, Connecticut, the daughter of James Fred Thomas and Mary Rose Parisi.
During her lifetime, Frances lived in Connecticut, Georgia, Texas, and Arizona and lived in St. Petersburg, Florida for over forty years. Frances was a waitress for most of her life and worked at Brewmasters and Village Inn. Later in life she worked for Scotty’s and Cox Lumber.
Frankie loved quilting, knitting, bingo, going to concerts, NASCAR and watching Days of our Lives. She was an animal lover and was also a great cook. The love of her life and greatest joy was her love for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
One of the things that made her unique was the way she would make people laugh, the way she wanted to cook for the grandkids and she made deviled eggs that were famous. She never said, “Good-bye”, it was always “Toodles”. Frankie was born into the Catholic Church and then switched to a Christian Church.

To Frankie’S Children,
I am sitting her in tears crying because I have been trying for years to search for your mother. We grew up in CT. together when her grandmother owned the home on Travis Street that we had lived in and rented. I have constantly wondered where she had ended up and knew that she had been in AZ at one time with her mother, Mary. My mother and Mary were very good friends during their younger years and had traveled together before their marriages. I have so many pictures of Frankie in CT on the porch,at birthday parties and at her Communion. My heart is aching for you to think that she is now gone and that she was not that far from me as I live in Sebastian, FL right across the coast and I could have spent some precious time with her talking about our childhood. May she rest in God’s arms.
Please contact me if you would like any pictures that I may have.
God Bless All Of You,
