she shared with her students will live on. Cousin, Delores Clark Washington.

Although I knew Francena just a short while, she was a treat, fun and interesting as a Red Hat sister. My heart aches for her family and friends. What a truly unique lady.

I had the privilege of working with Dr. Willingham as we were both educators in Richland District One. What a beautiful, loving and generous woman. Prayers for all of her friends and family, and may happy memories sustain you at this difficult time.

We met some years ago either at a politacal or community event, and she was such a wonderful,well-rounded person. I will miss seeing her at the next parade on Harden St, but Francena, I'll save you a good spot! My prayers are with you all.

RIP. I knew Francena because she was a FUN loving lady. She was a RED HAT SISTER of the Carolina Jasmines in Columbia NE, SC. She loved hats, dressing to the Nines and a delight at events. She will be missed. My condolences to her family and friends.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. Francena's death was devastating to all of us, yet we are comforted in knowing that she lived a full and purposeful life. She touched so many young minds as she sought to guide and educate. She inspired so many by exhibiting the tenets of being a virtous woman. She was loved by our family and revered as being a kind and generous soul. She will be missed, yet forever cherished and remembered.
