Frances Ann Corum Allen, better known as GiGi, was a caregiver to anyone that knew her. She was the best wife, daughter, sister, mother, and grandmother there was. One of her grandchildren called her the “best doer” which sums up the way she cared for her family. She loved attending church, traveling with her family, and sisters, flower gardening, and made the best macaroni and cheese ever. She was a wonderful role model to anyone she met and now her sweet soul will peacefully rest in Heaven.

Pallbearers will be Joe Betterton, Wesley Betterton, Russell Betterton, Rusty McIntyre, Josh Nelson, and Christopher Perry.

Memorial gifts may be made to Child Haven, Hands across Decatur and Decatur Animal Services.
