In loving memory of Francine "Franké" Pabon, 31, of Orlando, who peacefully passed on January 6, 2024, surrounded by her family and friends, after a brave battle with Brain Cancer.
Born in New Jersey she grew up rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles.
She lived her life through the rhythm of music, always singing and she knew the lyrics to every song from Michael Jackson to Bad Bunny. Road trips were the best with her.
Franké was a talented Barber, and had a passion for her craft. Beyond her professional skills, she possessed a desire to cut everyone's hair, spreading her love for a fresh look. Her gentle and patient approach, especially with children, created a welcoming atmosphere in her chair.
Her generosity knew no bounds, as Franké selflessly offered free haircuts to the homeless, embodying her belief that everyone should have the opportunity to feel fresh and confident. Through her clippers, she not only transformed appearances but also uplifted spirits, leaving a lasting impact on those she touched with her compassionate artistry.
Even through her silent battle, her infectious smile brightened lives, and she had the ability to remember everyone by name, leaving a lasting impact wherever she went and no matter where she went there was someone saying "Hey Franké!"
She had style and it showed through her love for a fresh pair of kicks and extensive hat collection. She had an undeniable style that mirrored her vibrant personality.
She loved her family more than anything and is survived by her father, Ivan Pabon (Millie); mother, Maria "Mara" Silva (Luis); sisters, Gabrielle "Gaby" Marti (Ricardo) and Melissa Jade; nephews, Joshua Marti, Jaiden Marti, and Jordan Marti; her three fur babies, Bella, Lucy, and Pinky; along with a host of uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends who were more like family.
As we gather to celebrate her life, the family kindly requests attendees not wear black and instead choose a color that reflects the vibrancy Franké brought to our lives.
