Frovelia was a wonderful mother, loving sister, dedicated wife, loyal friend, and unbelievable grandmother. She touched so many lives in her 92 years and experienced more in a lifetime than most dream about. Whether she was yelling bingo or yelling at her grandchildren’s and great grandchildren’s ball games, everyone knew when Fro was around. She will be greatly missed by all of her family and friends.
