Frances Laverne Meriwether
November 26, 1927 – April 15, 2022

Frances loved to shop, cook, bake, tend to her yard and garden pruning and planting her favorite flowers Tulips and Roses. She was known for her strong personality, independence, and sense of humor. Behind that personality was a smile and laugh that was infectious we will always honor and cherish that. She was the only one who could make you laugh and cry at the same time with her advice, opinion, and stern words. Frances spoke straight from the shoulder she didn't pull any punches "What she said was what she said" and how you received it was on you! Frances Loved the Lord with her whole heart, she dedicated her life at the age of forty-four and never looked back. She was a member "Zion Tabernacle Apostolic Church" under the leadership of Suffragan Bishop Thomas Griffith.

"Granny Poo's last words 3 minutes before she departed on April 15th, 2022 @ 2:51 p.m. in Louisiana, were "I gotta get up! pick up and clean up, I gotta go! She knew exactly what time it was.
