Frankie Angeline Bishop Moore, 87, of Roanoke, left us peacefully to be with her mother, father, all her brothers and sisters, friends and the many others she knew and cared about who preceded her in death on Monday, October 24, 2011.

She is survived by her two daughters, Dianne Maxey, and Janet Moore and friend, David Crosswhite; her two grandsons, Neil Hylton (Zona) and Barry Hylton; and her great-grandchildren, Cady Hylton, and Lexi and Walker Nowers. She is also survived by her wonderful friends who were truly considered to be family to her and brightened each day she was able to spend with them.

Frankie, known as Mammaw to her grandchildren, left us all with a piece of her heart and taught us to love unconditionally, to forgive, and to treat others the way you want to be treated. Frankie enjoyed playing cards with friends and family, cooking food for others, going to church at Colonial Presbyterian on Sundays where she was a charter member and watching baseball. She was a loving mom and grandmother, an optimistic and jovial woman, who was the best friend anyone could ask for. We will all miss her dearly!

Interment will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, October 27, 2011, at Sherwood Memorial Park followed by a memorial service at 11 a.m. on Thursday at Colonial Presbyterian Church with, the Rev. Brent Williams officiating. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, October 26, 2011, at Oakey's South Chapel.
