Frances Jane Black, 96, of Malden died peacefully Dec. 4, 2024.
A dedicated professional, Black worked alongside her late husband, Allen, for more than 40 years publishing the Malden Press-Merit.
She was a member of several community organizations and supporter of many local causes, including the Malden Historical Museum through which the family helped preserve the community’s history.
Black was an avid golfer and as such, following funeral services later this year, the family will host a nine-hole round of golf in Malden to honor her life’s contributions.
She is survived by a son, David, and a daughter, Vickie; and many more family and friends.
