Frankie Carvana Wallington heard that clear still voice of God and answered, “Here I am” and entered into eternal rest on March 29, 2019 surrounded with a host of family at his side.  His funeral will be held 12:00Noon at Cedar Grove Tabernacle of Praise, 612 Norwalk Street, Greensboro, NC. Visitations will start 1 hour prior to the service at the church. Interment will follow in Lakeview Memorial Park.

Frankie was born to the late Frank Thompson, Jr. and Sheldia Walltington on September 12, 1959 in Greensboro, NC.  He was the middle child of the three children born to his parents and later adopted by his step-father, Odell Wallington.  He is predeceased by his sister Cynthia Wallington Williams.

Frankie accepted Christ under Pastor James Johnson at Cedar Grove. He enjoyed driving and one of his last employments was with Morgan and Sons Busing Company.  He attended Washington Street Elementary School, Lindley Junior High School and graduated from Ben L. Smith High School. “Spankie” as he was fondly called by his close and special cousins knew he liked spending time with them. Anyone who knew him, knew he was a dedicated Cowboys Fan. He was a family man who was full of wisdom, insight and most of all, his favorite saying was, “Bless Your Heart.”

Frankie’s memory will be cherished and shared for generations to come by his surviving children: Keshia Thompson, Chico Austin (LaShea), Frankie Austin (CaTina), Baby Girl- Tiffany Hinson (Pastor Ronald Hinson, II); his parents, Odell and Sheldia Wallington; brother, Raynard Wallington (Gloria); eighteen grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and a host of family and friends.
