Flanagan and Mrs. Eula Mae (Lawler) Flanagan. In 1939 she attended the College of Marshall, now known as East Texas Baptist University. In 1942 she married her husband of 50 years Byron Nankervis, and they moved to Freeport, Texas where Byron landed a job at a defense plant. In July 1943, their son Gerald (Jerry) was born at the Dow Magnesium Corporation Hospital in Velasco, Texas. In August of that same year, the First Baptist Church of Lake Jackson was organized with 121 charter members, including Frankie and Byron. Frankie and Byron both retired from Dow in the 1980s, and Frankie went on to lead the Dow Retirees Association. She was also active as a volunteer school teacher. Frankie and Byron loved to travel, and they visited many exotic locations. Frankie is preceded in death by her husband Byron and her son Jerry. She is survived by her grandson Colin Nankervis of Houston. In lieu of flowers, please make memorial donations to either the First Baptist Church of Lake Jackson or the National Alzheimer's Association.
