Frances Anders Spratlin, of Little Rock, widow of William A. ``Bill'' Spratlin, formerly of Dermott made the transition from earth to Heaven, Sunday, July 13, 2008. She was born in Hermitage, Arkansas, the fifth of six children of Flora Corinne Woodburn and Marion Jasper Anders. Her early life was spent in Eudora, but she lived over fifty years in Dermott before moving to Little Rock in 1995. In Dermott she was supportive of her two sons in sports, scouts, and all their school and church activities. As a member of Dermott Baptist Church, she was active in W.M.U., a Sunday school teacher, choir member, and church treasurer. She worked for Dermott State Bank for over thirty years and retired in 1984 as Vice President. In Little Rock she was a member of Immanuel Baptist Church and Phebean Sunday School Class.

She is survived by two sons, William A. ``Art'' Spratlin, Jr., and his wife, Karen of Overland Park, Kansas and John David Spratlin and his wife, Rebecca of Austin, Texas. She is also survived by grandchildren, Heath Spratlin and Betsy Spratlin Ballard and her husband, Jake; and one great-grandchild, Hayden Spratlin, all of the Kansas City area; one sister, Virginia A. Effland of Little Rock; three nieces and nine nephews.

A brief graveside service will be held at 1:00 P.M., on Wednesday, July 16 followed by a family visitation and a celebration of Frances' life at 2:00 P.M. at the Dermott Baptist Church.

A memorial service will also be held in Little Rock in the chapel of Parkway Village, 14300 Chenal Parkway, at 10:00 A.M., on Thursday, July 17.

In lieu of flowers the family requests that memorials can be made to the Dermott Baptist Church Memorial Fund, 401 South Main Street, Dermott, Arkansas 71638; Cary Christian Center, P. O. Box 57, Cary, Mississippi 39054 or to Baptist Hospice, 11900 Colonel Glenn Road, Suite 2000, Little Rock, Arkansas 72210.

She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. But rather than mourn the absence of the flame, let us celebrate how brightly it glowed.
