Obituary of Frances Gregory Pasch

1933 – November 30, 2025

Frances Gregory Pasch, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and lifelong woman of faith, passed away peacefully on November 30, 2025. She was 92 years old and most recently made her home in Washington, New Jersey.

Born in 1933, Frances was raised in North Plainfield, the cherished daughter of Frank and Celia Gregory. She is survived by her brother, Robert Gregory, who resides in Pennsylvania.

Frances was a proud graduate of Mount Saint Mary’s Academy and later earned her degree from Georgian Court College. In time, she met and married the love of her life, James H. Pasch, Sr. Together, they shared 66 years of marriage—years filled with deep devotion, mutual respect, and unwavering faith. Frances and James built a beautiful family, raising five sons and ultimately being blessed with nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild, each of whom brought immense joy to her life.

A gifted and inspired writer, Frances authored two published poetry books and contributed hundreds of articles and devotionals to magazines and newspapers. She also led writers’ groups across the years, encouraging new authors, nurturing creativity, and generously sharing her knowledge. Her words touched countless lives and reflected her gentle spirit, wisdom, and compassion.

Above all, faith was the cornerstone of Frances’s life. She dedicated herself to Christian ministry, guiding others in their walk with Jesus and teaching Bible studies she lovingly created and led. Her steadfast belief, kindness, and devotion left a lasting impact on all who knew her.

Frances will be laid to rest beside her beloved husband, James, reunited in eternal peace.

Her legacy lives on through her family, her ministry, and the many hearts she touched with her faith and her words.
