Frankie was fun-loving. She would tell you something she thought was funny and would laugh so hard. You would not be laughing at what was supposed to be funny, but at how she was telling the story and laughing trying to tell you. She had a great love for her children and siblings. She worked in factories and other jobs to support her children and would give them her last dime. She was a great cook and when she was working in the factories, co-workers would request her to cook food for them and they would pay her. Her health declined over the years, but her spirit didn’t. She was still fun-loving, caring and supportive up until her death.
