A woman of deep faith, Frankie was a lifelong member of the Catholic Church. She held a steadfast devotion to her beliefs and lived them daily through kindness, service, and humility. She was a staunch believer in giving her time and talents wherever they were needed, always ready to lend a hand or a listening ear.
