Francesca Maria (Monoriti) Barack of Brookline, age 104, on Saturday, March 14, 2026. Daughter of the late Giuseppie and Saverina (Romano) Monoriti. Beloved wife of the late Anthony J. Barack; mother of Joseph Barack (Sonia), Anthony Barack, and Marianne Kovach (Ken); grandmother of Gina Morgano; sister of the late Lt. Col. Elidio J. Monoriti (the late Ruth); aunt of Norma Borik (Chuck), Charles Hoskowicz, and the late Diana Kuzma (the late Joseph); great-aunt of Joseph Borik, Anne Borik, D.O., and Paul Kuzma.
Frances was the most giving and selfless wife, mother, and grandmother, who always put her family first and loved them unconditionally. Known for her warm hospitality and welcoming personality, she was a faithful Christian Mother at Our Lady of Victory Maronite Catholic Church and Church of the Resurrection. Her family feels deeply blessed to have shared 104 years with her and to have kept her at home until the end with the help of compassionate caregivers from Advanced Hospice. May the angels carry her to paradise, and may her loved ones await her with open arms.
