"Sunset and evening star and one clear call for me, and may there be no mourning at the bar when I put out to sea." On Tuesday, December 15, 2020, Frankie Mae Thomas transitioned from this earthly life to life eternal at her daughter and son-in-law’s home in Lexington, NC. Frankie was born October 29, 1948 to Leroy Washington and Hattie Chaneyfield. She married Harry Thomas February 24, 1968 and out of this union 3 children were born. She received her formal education in the public school system in Jasper County. She worked in the restaurant industry for a short time. She was a faithful lifetime member of Second African Baptist Church in Coosawhatchie SC. Frankie will be fondly remembered as a person who was kind and friendly.
