A 67-year-old innocent bystander has died four weeks after being shot in the face by a stray bullet — on the same Staten Island block where she’d survived being shot twenty years prior.

Victim Fran Williams was a beloved aunt to “a host of nieces [and] nephews,” according to her obituary on the website of the Stradford Funeral Home, where a wake and funeral were scheduled for Thursday afternoon.

Known to neighbors as “Ms. Franny,” Williams had been waiting for a bus on Jersey Street in New Brighton on July 10 when she was caught in the crossfire of a gang gun battle.

In 1998 — while doing her laundry on the same street — she’d survived getting shot by another stray bullet, police sources told The Post.

No one has been arrested in her July 10 shooting, officials said Thursday.
