Frankie Grisham Obituary

Douglas Franklin "Frankie" Grisham 70, passed away on Tuesday, October 10, 2017 at the Baldwyn Nursing Facility. He was born to Douglas and Charlene Farrar Grisham on February 04, 1947 in Baldwyn, Mississippi. He was a member of East Mt. Zion Baptist Church.

Frankie worked for Blue Bell Mfg. for many years and later for Golden Mfg. until he retired. He lived in the Pratts community all of his life. He was a friend to everyone he met and was also a great storyteller, using those hand gestures to punctuate the funny parts. He was always to be seen cruising the community in his PT cruiser along with his faithful mutt, Dogg. He greatly loved his mother and was a faithful caretaker of her for many years.

Funeral services will be at Waters Funeral Home, Saturday, October 14, 2017 at 2:00 P.M. with Bro. Jeremy Johnson officiating. Burial will be in the Pratts Cemetery.

He is survived by his mother, Charlene Farrar Grisham; sister, Linda Crawford (Ronnie); daughter, Melissa Jolly; son, Brian Grisham; niece, Alice Adair and special loved ones Elaine Grisham, Kristen Horne (Michael), Bailey, Brody and Asher Horne, and Reed Morrison. He also leaves much loved aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his father; nephew, Alan Crawford; grandparents, Hasten and Alice Farrar and Newt and Pink Grisham.

Visitation will be at Waters Funeral Home Saturday from 11:00 A.M. until service time.
