Plaistow, NH: Frances A. (Noury) Blinn, 95, long time resident of Plaistow, died on Friday, September 4, 2020, at Mary Immaculate Mary Health/Care Services in Lawrence, MA.

Born in Lawrence, she was the daughter of the late Frank and Nora (Zabriskie) Noury. Frances grew up in Bradford, MA and was a graduate of Haverhill High School, Class of 1944.

For twenty-six years she was employed at Western Electric in North Andover, MA, and subsequently AT&T and Lucent Technologies. She worked hard to rise through the ranks of various positions like layout operator, inspector, and security personnel, all in the extremely important crystal room. After her retirement from Lucent, she worked in the store of the Telephone Pioneers of America, a non-profit charitable organization of which she was a member. Frances liked volunteering her time at the Red Cross Blood Bank and the Knights of Columbus annual Tootsie Roll Drive. She was also a highly active member of the Holy Angels parish where she continued to volunteer her time to the Legion of Mary, and the pre-school CCD program, among many other activities.

When she was not working or volunteering to help, Frances enjoyed traveling with her husband and playing cymbals in the Noury Family Band. She was also an avid dancer, particularly ballroom dancing, and after her husband's passing, she had joined the Come Alive After Five group.
