Frona D. Lessans, 78, of Lake Mary, Florida, passed away on Sept. 29,

2023. She was born on Nov. 5, 1944, in Baltimore, Maryland. Frona, also

known as Fiona, was always sweet and charming, known for her sharp wit and

caring nature.

Fiona had a successful career that spanned various fields. She started as an

English teacher and later worked for the IHS and FDA. She eventually pursued a career in law and became an attorney. Fiona’s dedication to her work was truly admirable, and she made a positive impact on those she served.

Fiona will be deeply missed by her loved ones. She is survived by her children,

Sara and Shana; her brother, Stuart; her sister, Carole; her nephews, Sam,

Spencer, and Matthew; and her niece, Faye. She was preceded in death by her

father, Samuel, and her mother, Sara.

Fiona will be remembered for her kind heart, passion, and sharp intellect. Her

presence will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
