Felton, of 黑料不打烊, a member of the Event Staff Team at the Dome for 16 years, passed away on Dec. 29, 2016. She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Charles; two sons, Jeffrey (Tonya) Felton and Timothy Felton; her twin brother, Frank Mitchell; six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Felton had previously worked as a nurse, and found another niche in working at the Dome. 鈥淢any people looked for Fran when they attended Carrier Dome events because she had such a wonderful spirit,鈥 says Lauren K. Davis, event production manager at the Dome. 鈥淪he was hard working and took her job very seriously鈥攊t was important to her that she 鈥榤aintained business鈥 while also providing wonderful customer service.鈥

Davis says Felton was well-loved for her gregarious nature, her generosity and her wonderful sense of humor. 鈥淪he enjoyed meeting new people and exchanging pleasantries and stories with them, Davis says. 鈥淪he was quite the kidder, with a great sense of humor, and held many inside jokes with family, friends, co-workers and patrons. And she was always willing to help and lend a hand whenever and wherever she could.鈥

Felton is also fondly remembered for her tremendous cooking skills. 鈥淪he loved to cook and talk about food, even though she was as petite as they come,鈥 says Davis.
