Francis Kittilstvedt Bangsil's Obituary
Mrs. Francis Kittilstvedt Bangsil, 67, of Huntersville, NC passed away peacefully on September 3, 2019, with her family by her side.
She was born to the late Raymond and Basilisa Kittilstvedt in Cabadbaran City, Philippines in 1952. She married the love of her life, Eloy L. Bangsil, Jr. in 1971.

Francis obtained her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Gwynedd Mercy University in Gwynedd Valley, PA and worked as a Registered Nurse at the Philadelphia VA Medical Center in PA and Ancora Hospital in New Jersey for many years.
Francis was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She especially loved her role as Grandma. Her primary focus was always centered on family and friends. She enjoyed, most of all, spending time with her loved ones. Francis was a loving and compassionate woman whose smile and wit brightened anyone’s day. She will be remembered for her kindness, affection and unwavering strength. As a loving mother, grandmother, aunt and friend, Francis will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate to have known her.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Basilisa Kittilstvedt, brother, Joseph Kittilstvedt and her husband, Eloy L. Bangsil, Jr.
