Fannie graduated from Sandusky High School in 1966 and worked numerous jobs over the years, but being a homemaker and taking care of her family was her best job.

Fannie was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She cooked the best meals that were loved by many, had an artistic ability for drawing, loved to do puzzles, play board games, and spend time with her family. Some of her favorite TV shows were Judge Judy, Little House on the Prairie, and Martin.

Fannie was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Tobin and Melvin Alexander, and Harrison in infancy; sisters, Mattie Green and Patricia Burchett; and beloved childhood dog, Poncho.
