Frances Montano, affectionately known as "Tigger" by her family and friends, passed away on Friday, February 13, 2015. She was 39 years old. Frances was an accomplished Folklorico dancer and instructor for The Ballet Folklorico Cultural de San Bernardino for over 30 years. She worked for the Colton Joint Unified School District and also at her family business, Casa de Flores, in San Bernardino. Frances loved her family and friends and was very selfless in her actions. Frances's greatest joy in life were her nieces and nephews, Izack, Erika, Chance, Randii, Amber, Desiree and her great-nephew, Christopher "Toots." Frances was a true blessing to her family and to all who had the privilege to have known her. Frances leaves behind her mother and father, Margaret and Frank Montano, sister Jessica and brother Frankie (Leticia) and grandmother Inez Lucero, along with many aunts, uncles and cousins. Our deepest gratitude to the nurses and staff at the ARMC Oncology, Chemo & Radiation department. Services will be at Preciados Funeral Home in San Bernardino on Sunday, March 1, 2015. The viewing will be at 2 p.m. and the service will be held from 3 to 5 p.m.
