Frances Caroline Makowski was born on April 2, 1919 in Chicago, IL to Frank and Mary (Sobolewski) Makowski. She was raised and received her education in the Lublin area. As a young woman, Fran moved to Chicago to work for her relatives at Real Packing Company and also worked at a bakery and did housekeeping. She later moved back to Lublin to help her mother run the family tavern. In the early 1960’s, Fran moved back to Chicago for a year to attend beauty school. She was united in marriage to Alfred Zugier, in Medford, on January 8, 1965.
