Frances Dougherty Obituary

Frances "Frankie" Dougherty, 63, of Bensalem, PA, passed away on Friday, March 21st, 2025, after facing a long and courageous battle with cancer. Born on September 22, 1961, raised in her beloved hometown of Bensalem, she was the cherished daughter of Anna Walker and Frank Lippincott. Frances was a woman of incredible strength and an unstoppable spirit. Her days as a truck driver took her across the country, igniting her deep love for traveling and adventure. Whether behind the wheel or in the heart of her kitchen, in the saddle running a barrel race, or surrounded by her beloved dogs, Frances brought passion and joy to everything she did. She was happiest when surrounded by her children and grandchildren, sharing laughter, meals, and unforgettable memories. Frances is survived by her three devoted children, Annamarie (Chris), Anthony (Christie), and Mark; her grandchildren, Brandi, Nicholas, Anthony, and Jonathan; mother, Anna Walker; siblings, Tina Schueller and Frank Lippincott (Angel); nephews, Bobby, Sean, Frank, and Nick. Preceded in death by her father Frank Lippincott. While no funeral services will be held at this time, the love and memories Frances shared with her family and friends will live on in their hearts forever.
