Frances Ruth McGlothlin passed from this life on July 8, 2025, at the age of 73 in Cleveland, Oklahoma.

Frannie was born on October 18, 1951, in Amarillo, Texas, the daughter of Martha Laverne Gollihugh. Frannie grew up and attended school in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Frannie resided in Tulsa until several years ago, moving to Cleveland Manor to be closer to her sister.

Frannie was a huge Elvis fan and had amassed a vast collection of memorabilia that she had collected throughout her life. She always looked forward to playing Bingo at the nursing home and enjoyed people-watching at the local tavern while smoking her cigarettes. She was very strong-willed, kindhearted, and loved a good laugh.

Frances was preceded in death by her mother, Martha Gollihugh.

A Life Celebration will be held at a later date. Chapman-Black Funeral Home will be handling the arrangements. Friends and family may visit an online guest book and memorial page for Frances at www.chapman-black.com.
