Obituary

Frankie Zane Morris, 90, of De Leon, Texas went home to meet her Lord and Savior on Saturday, July 3, 2021, with her loving family by her side.  She was born September 26, 1930, in Stamford, Texas to James Wesley Foster and Irene Cooper Foster. Following the death of her father, Frankie moved to De Leon, Texas to live with her beloved grandparents, William Thomas Foster and Essie D. Foster. In De Leon she met and married the love of her life, William Thomas Morris on June 7, 1947.

She was a homemaker but also a farmer's wife, which meant anything that needed doing, she did it. She was a wonderful cook and took great delight in cooking for others. She loved for people to enjoy her food.

She was a talented seamstress; she loved to create and sew. If you could describe what you wanted, she could make it. For many years she owned and operated a shop for handcrafted children's clothing, Little Bo-Tique. There she designed and created custom clothing, from tiny baby gowns to intricate pageant gowns. She loved crafts of all kinds but had a special gift for and love of sewing.

Frankie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and mother-in-law. She was devoted to her family. She expanded that family to include anyone and everyone that touched her life and the lives of her family. That love made evident by the many who knew her and called her Nanny.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, parents, two brothers, Benny Glenn Foster and Jessie Dwain Foster, and her beloved William.
