Francine Esperant Téramène

Francine Téramène, affectionately known as "France," passed away on April 28, 2025, at Boston Medical Center in Boston, MA, on her 66th birthday.

Born in Cavaillon, Haiti, to the late Irma Edouard and Syrien Téramène, Francine received her early education from preschool through secondary school at the Congrégation des Sœurs de Saint Anne.
