Fanny and I worked together in the early 80's. She was a delightful person and very Godly in how she lived her life. 

Fannie was a wonderful Godly lady.  I worked with her and we became good friends.  Fannie lived the Bible in her kind loving treatment of all people.  One of my memories in 1981  of her was on our job on Route 7 The  Hub Furinture.  I saw Fanny rocking this customer who came in very sad looking.  It was Fannie's time to assist this customer called her "UP."  I was curious what she was saying to this very sad looking customer a young man about 26 years old and Fannie stayed with him rocking him for a long time.  I asked her later what was going on with that rocking her customer for so long.   Fannie said, " That poor young man was so upset  because he returned home from work today and all his furniture was gone from his house.  He told me,  "My wife left a note that said she was leaving me."   He said,  "I have nothing to sleep on tonight."  Fannie said, " We will take care of you getting your bedding fast out to you and I  took his order for his bedding he needed right away.   While  his credit app was being processed I went back to rock him again.  I asked him, " Where you good to her?"  He assured  assured me  he was very good to her.  Fannie said," Did you help her around the house?  Did you pay attention to her needs?  Did you show her love?" All his answers were," Yes!" Fannie still rocking  him said, " Young man I know why this happened,  " You Were Too Good To Her!!!" 

I am saddened to hear of Aunt Fannie's passing.She always gave me wonderful advice and comfort during our conversations. Aunt Fannie was the person responsible for me getting into the business of caring for the elderly and disabled.She was a thoughtful and beautiful Lady. May God keep and strengthen you, is my prayer for you all. Aunt Fannie you will be missed.  Audie & children
