Nan Frame (17 Jan 1958 - 12 Jun 2023)

Very sad indeed to hear of Nan’s passing. She was a great community initiator and achieved a great deal in supporting and helping the people of Bargeddie I know. Deepest sympathies to her family and friends at this time.

So sorry to hear this sad news. I started primary school with Nan and we were best friends. We played together at playtime, walked home together after school and would go out to play every evening. We had great times, Nan "borrowed" james toy cowboy gun and we regulatly chased the paperboy pretending we vwere outlaws. For a while there was a lorry park on spare ground behind the main street and we had great fun climbing onto the flat bed lorries and jumping from lorry to lorry. There wasn't a wall or a tree in Uddingston that we couldn't climb. But Nan had a competitive edge and if I climbed high she would go higher and neither of us wanted to admit defeat. Our games were innocent but we were rascals.... we knew the gardens with apple trees and conducted a few 'raids' with one on look out and one up the tree. Another favourite game was to visit the putting green and sneak up without being seen to successfully remove the red flags and hide them in the nearby bushes. We had a few narrow escapes when the Park man chased us but we could usually scramble over the fence and dissapear before being seen. We made our first Confession, first Communion and confirmation and we joined the Girl guides. We lost touch but I used to entertain my children with stories of my adventures with Nan..... I have a couple of photos which I'll post later. Condolences to all Nans family xx

Very sad to hear and my condolences to Harry..regards Gerald

I remember Nan when I was a Cub Leader at 2nd Uddingston Cubs..she went on to be a very good ambassador for the Scout movement..thoughts are with her family and friends ❤️

My abiding memory’s of Nan always involved high heels didn’t matter if she was Scouting out for a walk or at work she would have high heels on. I knew she was small and I’m not much bigger than she was at 5ft 1, but I remember the first time I stayed in her Mum and Dad house I got up in the morning and headed upstairs to the bathroom and met Nan coming out the bathroom door in her dressing gown and bare feet and before I had time to think I said Nan you’ve shrunk! She laughed dashed into her bedroom and came back out in the most glamorous high heeled slippers I had ever seen with feathers on the front and looked me in the eye and said forget you saw me the first time! I’ve never forgotten it or the twinkle in her eye as she said it. She was simply the goddess of high heels and wore them with style everywhere.
She was an independent, funny, clever, women with a stubborn streak and I admired her immensely as she was one of the few women who could stand up for herself in a male environment and was admired by work colleagues and friends for it, as it was in the days when there were some older men who still thought a women’s place was at home, much to Nans amusement. She will be greatly missed and now I’ll have to keep her wee brother in line myself! ❤️

Nan you are one of a kind, the must smiley, happy person, I had the pleasure of knowing. my gig buddy Rod Stewart, Tina Turner and Bon Jovi, even got you to walk over hot coals !! Will be so sadly missed xx
