Frankie Lynn Hackman passed away unexpectedly on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 11, 2008, with her daughter by her side at a Pinetop, Ariz., hospital. Her death was very untimely, the result of a heart attack, and she was taken away much too early — she was only 38.

Frankie was born March 9, 1970, in Phoenix, Ariz. She grew up in Arizona and moved to the Columbia Gorge area when she was 16 living in both Hood River and White Salmon over the years. Almost a year and a half ago she moved to Arizona where she met and was engaged to marry Vern Lewis.

Frankie worked for the Underwood Fruit Company for almost 10 years and more recently for the Elks Lodge, the Heights Shell station and Annz Panz. She was excited and was working at a local country club and golf course in Pinetop, Ariz.

She had several hobbies and activities but above all she loved spending time with her daughter and watching her softball games.

Frankie is survived and will be dearly missed by her two daughters, Amber Kitchen, of Hood River, Ore., and Mariaya Kitchen, of Waikukus, Wash.; her grandma, Reeny Hackman, of Hood River; extended family in Arizona and many, many friends.

There are no services planned; her memorial services were conducted in Arizona.
