    I have fond and loving memories of Aunt Fannie. She was caring and thoughtful to everyone. I always admired the energy that Aunt Fannie put into the way that she lived and the compassion that she showed to everyone she knew. We all know that she is in a far better place and enjoying the company of her husband, brothers, sisters, parents and other relatives. The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God. ~Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994

    Aunt Fannie was the last of my fathers siblings and a dear sweet lady. She touched a lot of lives and will be greatly missed by all that knew her. I am just sorry that I could not attend the services, her loving nephew Jeff McElfresh, son of the late Pearcy and Goldie Mc Elfresh.

    I have such fond memories of Fannie: her kindness, her love for walking, her trying to talk me, as a child, into trying rubbarb pie (which I tried, and didn't like); sharing the Peoga parade preparation. She will be missed! On behalf of the Les Branham family, I offer sincere sympathies! RIP Fannie.
