Frankie Gifford Obituary
Frankie was the kindest and most loving person you could ever meet. His smile was contagious and he could light up a room with his big brown eyes. Though Frankie was deaf all his life, he always found a way to communicate with everyone, and wanted to teach them a few of the sign languages. His favorite one was "I love you" and he used it a dozen times daily. If Frankie had your phone number, you definitely would get a message from him and probably followed by "I love you". He had the biggest heart for his family, church, and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Leonard Gifford and Martha Adkins, infant brother, Franklin Rollin Gifford, Randy Gifford, Joe (Sonny) Gifford, Sisters, Gloria Thurman and Jackie Prince and nephew Derek Garner.
Left to cherish his memory are his twin sister, Candy (Tim) Garner, Sister, MaryAnn (Terry) O'Neill, Loretta (Larry) Avans, Sharon Brown, several nieces and nephews and friends.
The family will receive friends on Sunday from 12:00 Noon until 8 PM and then Monday from 11 AM till the service time at 3 PM in the Ryan Funeral Home & Crematory, 11415 S. Main Street, Trenton, GA. Interment will follow in Trenton Baptist Cemetery.
