Mrs. King (Frankie), you will be truely missed, you have been a stakeholder to the Auburn community, one that would never be forgotten,history books will remember your fight for those who were economically disadvantaged; you were a voice for many and your wisdom has attributed the success of a dynamic program "Alabama Council on Human Relations, which is an asset to Lee County. God has called a true warrior to "His glory and a flower to His beautiful garden. "Call Frankie," I recall them saying back in the days of Darden Headstart; because Frankie was among a group of "shakers and a movers;" whose hard work and sacrifices built a dynamic program, that became a pillar to the Auburn community. Today I pay homage to a "Queen" whose crown awaits her in glory. Thank you for the impact you and Alabama Council staff had on who I am today. Rest in peace, my sister, rest in peace!

Frankie truly inspired those of us she supervised at ACHR...so much more than a supervisor. She motivated us to follow our dreams. She was loved by many, and will stay in our hearts.

We are so saddened about the passing of Frankie. We will all miss her beautiful smile, cheerful personality, and love for her fellowman, --especially her children.
She will always be in your hearts and minds when you look at the things she touched and the causes for which she quietly fought. God bless each of you and be thankful that this great woman touched your lives. We are thankful she touched ours. Sincerely,
