Frankie Bain

Bain, Frankie Dickerson, of Rutledge, GA, went to be with her Lord Jesus on August 14, 2010, her family members were present when she began her eternal journey.

She was the daughter of the late James Blane and Bertha Quesenberry Dickerson and was born in 1919 in Floyd County, Virginia. She married the late Marshall Bain in 1940 and they had three children, Allen, Ethel and Roger.

She was a proud housewife and mother who loved to cook for her family; her grandchildren remember her preparing favorite dishes at family dinners, but the most requested were potato salad, banana pudding and sausage gravy and biscuits. She would always say “you want more?” They always did!
