Once her children were all in school, Frankie chose to pursue her long-held dream of becoming a nurse. She graduated as an LPN and began her nursing career at Memorial Hospital. She later joined Clarksville Medical Clinic, where she worked with dedication and compassion until her retirement in 2002.Frankie was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed by all who knew her.
