Frankye was a natural leader. She was an active member and leader in every church she attended. She served as a Girl’s Auxiliary leader, Women’s Missionary Union President, Sunday School teacher, and choir president for many years. She was also her daughter’s Camp Fire Girls leader.
Her favorite things were singing in the church choir, the Dallas Cowboys (a season ticket owner for many years), working the daily crossword puzzle, playing dominos or card games with friends, and traveling, especially New England and Branson, MO.
