Frankie Mae Hairr Andrews, 88, of Calypso, passed away peacefully at her home on Friday evening, surrounded by her loving family. Frankie was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose life was defined by faith, family, and a deep sense of care for those around her. A longtime member of Faison Baptist Church, she made it her mission to ensure her family was always present and involved. Her home was a gathering place, filled with warmth, delicious home-cooked meals, and enough love (and food) to go around.
She is survived by her children and their spouses; Vickie Sutton and husband Gary of Mount Olive, Martha Sutton and husband Billy of Mount Olive, Janet Hollingsworth and husband David of Faison, Lori Jones and husband Jimmy of Calypso, Brian Andrews and fiancée Natalie Webb of Nashville, NC. She was also blessed with many grandchildren; Kellie Witherington and husband Gary, Lee Sutton and wife Julie, Ashley Pate and husband Jim, Amanda Buckner and husband Stephen, Lindsay Gregory and husband Jake, Andrew Hollingsworth and fiancée Renee Price, Ryan Tillman and wife Heather, April Goodson and husband Josh, Nicholas Andrews, Trevor Andrews, and Shanna Lawrence and husband Eric. Her legacy continues in her 18 beloved great-grandchildren.
Frankie is also survived by her siblings; Paulette Carter and husband Oliver of Lake Waccamaw, Julie Medlin and husband Scott of Benson, Ellen Parker and husband Kenneth of Salemburg, and Joseph Hairr and wife Susan of Kinston.The family also wishes to express their gratitude to their Mrs Frankie's special friends and caretakers; Nikki Wolfe, Dot Gray, and Bean and Carolyn Cottle.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Lowell Conway Andrews; her parents, Allen Gilbert and Rose Bass Hairr; and her siblings, Charles Hairr, Shirley Banks, Homer Hairr, Arnold Hairr, and Stanley Hairr. Frankie took great pride in her yard and cherished time spent cooking for her family. Her legacy is one of generosity, devotion, and quiet strength.
