She was born on February 18, 1938, in Mercer County. She was the daughter of the late Woodrow Hazelwood and Josephine Boyd Hazelwood.

Frankie will be remembered for her strong will, determination, love, and support for her family. She devoted her life to caring for others, selflessly giving her time as a caregiver to both her loving husband, Fred and beloved sister, Elaine until they were called home. Her kindness extended far beyond her family, Frankie found joy in cleaning homes for others, a work she did with a heart full of love and dedication. She was adored by those she served; her warm heart left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. She touched lives with her humble, servant heart, always putting the needs of others before her own.

Frankie attended Mountain View Church of Christ in Springville, VA and she found great joy in her faith, always trusting in God's plan for her life. She loved her family deeply, and her love will continue to live on in the memories of those who were blessed to know her.

Frankie is survived by her loving sons, who absolutely adored her, Fred (Christy) Kinder of Princeton, WV and Robert (Robin) Kinder of N. Tazewell, VA.
