Frances Goodson Terry, 80, passed away at Methodist North Hospital in Memphis on Saturday, January 23, 2021.

She attended Bruce High School, and was retired after working as a CNA for many years with Calhoun County Nursing Homes. She was a member of Simonton Assembly of God in Mumford, TN. She was very involved with her church, and also served as the director of the Angel Food Ministry. Among her many hobbies were gardening, scrapbooking, and sewing.
