Frances Drake Allred, 80, passed away Friday, Jan. 27, 2017. Frances was a strong witness for Christ. She led an untold number of individuals to Christ over the years. She began one of the initial jail ministries at the Morgan County Jail in 1992, while ministering to the inmates and providing them Bibles at her own cost. Just prior to her death, she was operating an internet ministry as she ministered daily to those in need. Indeed, she possessed a love for God that those who knew her could easily see through her compassion for others. Frances is preceded in death by her parents, Douglas Drake and Gracie Powell Jones and brothers, Gerald and Kenneth Drake.
Frances is survived by her two children, Denise Murphy (Dale) and Dennis “Slugger” Allred II, (Lisa); grandson, Dennis “Trey” Allred III; granddaughters, Melissa and Melinda Murphy, Mallory McWhorter (Alex) and Codi Russell (Jamie); four great-granddaughters and six great-grandsons and brothers, Tom Drake and Michael Jones (Elgiree).

To Those I Love
And Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me, Let me go,
I have so many things to see and do,
you mustn't tie yourself to me with tears,
be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love. You can only guess
How much you gave me In happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown.
But now it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve a while for me, if you must,
then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a while that we must part.
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call ad I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
And if you listen with your heart you'll hear
All of my love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and "Welcome Home."
