They left vile photographs and messages on the Facebook tribute pages, saying the 18-year-old 'had it coming'.
Belle of the ball: Francesca wanted to be a doctor
There were depraved descriptions of how she and her mother Susan met their deaths at the hands of her father Hugh on Friday.
Photographs showing Francesca's head superimposed on naked or half-naked bodies were also posted over the weekend. Much of the abuse is too unpleasant to print.
The attack has outraged the 1,700 members of Francesca's tribute site.
Her cousin Jonny Molesworth, 17, responded to the saboteurs by writing: 'You have no idea what it's like to lose an aunty, uncle and cousin in one day.'
Ffion Morris, another member, said: 'I am horrified at some of the comments on this page and have just been through them all and reported them. It is just sick that people have no respect.'
Last night the pictures and comments were removed and a private Facebook site set up.
Francesca and Mrs McFall, 56, are believed to have been smothered by McFall at their bungalow in Oswestry, Shropshire, in the early hours of Friday.
The 48-year-old telephoned police and confessed to the murders before driving to the office of his wholesale florist business to hang himself.
Neighbours described his actions as unimaginable for a mild-mannered man who would blush if anyone swore.
McFall is said to have enjoyed a loving relationship with his wife and only child
Francesca. Known as Frankie, she was doing her A-levels at £12,000-a-year Oswestry School and had ambitions to become a doctor. She was head girl at her previous school.
Susan and Hugh McFall: He is thought to have smothered her and her daughter
Rumours that debts were behind the tragedy were last night ruled out by a family friend. Graeme Robson, 45, who went out with Francesca's stepsister Nicola Gilham, said:
'They had no mortgage on the house and were thinking of moving. They got it valued at about £300,000.
'The debt thing just doesn't ring true with me. They never wanted for anything and they didn't struggle. They were very family-orientated and all the money he spent was on the house.
'Hugh wasn't a drinker, he wasn't a smoker, he wasn't over- exuberant. He always looked after them.
'Hugh doted on Frankie beyond belief. She was a very clever girl, a very pretty girl and he would do anything for her. I saw her last week and she said she'd buy me a drink for my birthday. It's all so incomprehensible.'
Flowers and tributes left at 40 Hampton Road, Oswestry, Shropshire, where the bodies of Sue and her daughter Frankie were discovered on Friday
Mr Robson attended an emotional church service yesterday where prayers were said for the family.
Oswestry vicar Simon Thorburn told the congregation: 'Failure is a common human experience and yet it seems that we are often under pressure only to appear successful.
'Perhaps it's nearer the truth that beyond many of our front doors are people who know that there is a brokenness to their lives.
'I am not using that phrase in the David Cameron sense.
'We all have our weaknesses but sadly it's not something to own up to or even to recognise as a pretty normal state of affairs.'
Mr Thorburn compared the tragedy to that of the Foster family near Oswestry in 2008. Facing financial ruin, Christopher Foster killed wife Jill and daughter Kirstie, 15, before torching their mansion and committing suicide. ( dailymail.co.uk )
