Frankie Willoughby, daughter of Clifford and Mary Willoughby was born on May 21, 1922 in Troup County Georgia, where she happily called home. When asked how old she was she would always reply “I’m 100 years old but I feel like I’m 15, now put that in your pipe in smoke it”.

Frankie’s passion and talent her entire life was weaving creations from straw and pine needles to share with the community. She was a warm-hearted woman with a great zeal for life. She was extremely intelligent with a quick wit and a bold sassiness that was admirable. She was an independent woman who was very strong willed, no nonsense, and a real go getter. Frankie had a mind of her own, that her mouth would often reveal. She didn’t mince her words of wisdom for anyone and she always told it like it is. She had a strong love for Christ and a deep love, respect, and appreciation for her family.

She departed this life on Wednesday, April 26, 2023. She was the middle child of four siblings, Mable Hardin, Louisa Pate and Clifford Willoughby ll, whom all preceded her in death.

She leaves to cherish her memory and honor her legacy, one loving son, Bobby Willoughby “whom she loved dearly”, three grandchildren, Bobby Willoughby Jr. (Victoria), Teresa Akins (Earnest) and Natasha Willoughby (Darian), A niece that was just like a daughter to her, Tina Andrews, great grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Arrangements entrusted to Thrash and Sons Funeral Home.
