In Sharon, within Sharon Memorial Park, is this grave marker for Frances L. Spevack.

The marker is located well within the cemetery, in a section named Mount Ararat. It may help you to download a copy of a map for the cemetery from the cemetery web site or go to the administrative office/welcome center and get directions and a map.

The marker is a flat plaque even with the ground, like all markers in this cemetery. The bronze plaque has a general designs on the edges hinting vegetation, then two branches, likely olive. The text is as follows:

" Beloved daughter, sister, aunt and great aunt
