Francine M. Buchanan, 55, of Carbondale, died on Friday, February 6, 2026, at home.

Francine “Fran” Buchanan leaves behind a love so deep it will echo through generations. Fran was, above all else, a devoted mother and grandmother. Her family was the center of her world, and she poured her heart into loving, protecting, and cheering on the people she held dear. By her side through it all was her beloved dog, Logan, her constant companion and source of comfort. Those who knew Fran will remember her warmth, her fierce love, and the way she showed up for the people she cared about. Her love will continue to live on through the lives she touched – especially in her son and grandchildren, who were her greatest pride. Though she is no longer with us in body, Fran’s spirit, love, and legacy remain forever etched in our hearts.
Surviving are a son, Joseph Buchanan, and wife, Ashley, Scranton; 2 grandchildren, Alaina and Braiden Buchanan; a sister, Danielle Buchanan, Mayfield; a niece, Cheryl Eible, Mayfield.
