King
BRUNSWICK — Frances Crews King, 101 of Brunswick, passed away Sunday, July 28, 2024, at her residence.
Coming from Hickox, Mrs. King had lived in Brunswick since 1940. She was a member of the Darien Church of God and was baptized there on her 101st birthday.
Mrs. King had been employed as a line worker with SeaPak, a seamstress with Brunswick Manufacturing, a cook at the school cafeteria, and a cook at the Old South Restaurant, where she worked until the restaurant's closing.
She loved her family and was renowned as a great cook and especially known for cooking excellent mouth watering biscuits. No one ever came to her house without her finding out what they loved to eat, and being sure it was prepared especially for them.
Mrs. King had a beautiful garden she worked in until her son passed in 2020. She loved to talk about gardening and planting signs, and she loved to talk with her family and listen to their hunting stories. Mrs. King bragged on her family and thought the world of them.
She helped them out her entire life and tried to always say nothing if she couldn't say anything nice. Mrs. King sheltered many relatives and friends in her home over the years and helped many people improve their lot in life.
Mrs. King always offered a kind word and something to eat. Good food could fix almost anything.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Jessie and Lovie Johns Crews; her husband, Floyd; sons, Billy (Judy) and Bobby (Debbie); and grandson, Billy.
Survivors include her grandchildren, Alice (Jimmy), Jay, Eric (Miranda), Anne and Matt; great grandchildren, Michelle (Adam), BethAnne (Billy), Braxton, Tad, William, Shannon, Kati, Zack (Rose), Douglas, Jason (Kim) and Josh; great-great grandchildren include Coralie, J.T., Sulien, Madelyn, Henry, Ollie and Tallulah; and nieces, Charlene and Beth Anne.
The family would like to thank the nurses, doctors, and staff of Southeast Georgia Health System-Brunswick, Campus, especially, Dr. Matthew Certain, who diligently advocated and cared for Mrs. King. She was his oldest cardioversion patient, at 101, and she loved him dearly. Also, thanks to Dr. Heine, who made Mrs. King feel that she was always in good hands.
A funeral service was held Friday, August 2, 2024 from the gravesite at Palmetto Cemetery with Brother Tommy Whaley officiating.
Chapman Funeral Chapel & Crematory was in charge of the arrangements.
