It is with great sadness and yet eternal wonder, love and hope, that I announce the passing of my beloved mother, teacher and best friend, Marjorie Frank Coleman Harrison Frosteg.

She graduated from Doerun High School in 1939 and attended Georgia Southwestern College in 1939-1940. She came to Pelham in 1944 at the age of 22 after teaching one year in Sumner, GA (1941) and two years in Meigs, GA (1942-1943).
