Obituary of Frankie Rae Makinson

Frankie Rae Makinson, 41, of Duluth passed away on Oct. 22, 2015, surrounded by family, due to injuries sustained in a car accident. She was born Dec. 4, 1973 to Ann Tammen in Phoenix, Ariz. Frankie was fearless in life, trying anything from raising butterflies, to woodworking, to working as a permit Ironworker, welding and tying rebar in the winter. She was imaginative, and creative beyond belief. She loved her family and her friends with all her heart. Her loss will leave a void that can't be filled. Frankie's final giving was that of her organs, so others might live. Frankie is survived by her children, Jonathan, Aaron, and Alexis Loney; parents, Ann and Dennis Tammen; siblings Angela Cypret, Rick Hammon, and Teddy Makinson; Fianc Dwight Burton; grandmother Rose Tammen; aunt and uncle Pat and Bob Tammen, and many extended family members and friends. Thank you to all who shared their love for Frankie. Due to the distance many people had traveled, a memorial service has already been held on Oct. 24, 2015
