  3. Cooper, Tucker, Mary, and I were so saddened to hear of Fannie’s death. We looked forward to seeing her each week, as we had done for the past couple years. Fannie loved seeing the dogs! During our visits, Fanny spoke fondly of her family. We will greatly miss visiting with this enthusiastic, charming lady!

  4. We are so sorry to hear about Fannie Sue passing. She was such a fine woman and she passed that on to her family!! We will be praying for you as you come to deal with a new normal. Love you all, Phillip and Winnie Johnson

  5. Sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that your dear one is safe in the memory of God, who will remember every detail about her and bring her back again. John 528, 29 gives this assurance.

  6. Fannie Unrue touched many lives including mine and my daughter’s, Amanda Bullock Dunn. I still have the notes she took the time to write and I treasure each one. I knew that Amanda was receiving love and care when she was in her class. Fannie Sue was a devout Christian lady. My prayers are with you. May she rest in peace and rise in glory!
