Dora Frances Barnette (1918-1997)

Dora Frances Barnette was born on December 7, 1918, in Winder, GA. She was the first child born to Walter Thomas Barnette and Cornelia Florine Ingram. Her siblings remember her as the classic "bossy" older sister while they were growing up, but she was also very crafty.

Frances married M.C. Walden and they had three children: Carol, Charles Larry and Michael. They lived in Winder, and Frances worked at the nearby plant when she wasn't raising her children.

Frances died on August 15, 1997, in Winder, GA, of a heart attack. She was 78 years old.
