Ms Fannie was a beautiful person inside and outside, always kind to everyone. Many prayers to the family she will be missed by many.
I always liked it when Mrs. Fannie would come into the Farm Bureau office where I worked as she would stop to talk with me. She always had a funny story to tell or something nice to say. My prayers are with all her family.
