Mama, Mawmaw, “Sis. Frances” was known for her heart and hands for others. Giving her heart to Jesus as a young girl at church camp, she lived a vibrant and active spiritual life and personal faith. An industrious Proverbs 31 wife, she was known to be a lady of prayer and hospitality. She was an active Sunday school teacher for over 50 years. She left an imprint for Jesus across the generations as an active member of River of Life Church in Smyrna and was lifelong with the Assemblies of God.
In lieu of flowers, Mrs. Forsee requested donations to the Hillcrest Children’s Home at 2325 Malvern Avenue, Hot Springs, AR, 71901.
