Frances (Keener) Sorrells joined her heavenly family in her eternal home on Monday August 9, 2021. She was born on December 18, 1932.

Frances was a Keener matriarch, and she loved her family. She was a lover of travel, gardening, and the outdoors in general. Frances is survived by children, June Haire (Bud), Nancy Braun (Keith), John Fuller, Alex Koletsos (Lynn), Robert Sorrells (Rochelle) and Robin Sorrells, numerous grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by husband Grover Sorrells and Daughter Judy Fuller. Her siblings and parents await her in paradise along with her first grandson.

Frances was a wandering soul. She lived in many different places in several parts of the country. Often, she would gather up her children and head to a new area. Frances owned and operated several local restaurants, The Downtowner being the most well-known. Frances lives on in each of us. Our smiles, our laughter, our silliness, and our love for each other along with a good dose of Keener stubbornness and a lead foot while driving. One of the family's favorite memories is her love of mowing. Even when she wasn't supposed to be.

A service will be held Wednesday August 11, 2021 at 11 am at Bible Baptist Church.

The family will receive friends following the interment in the fellowship hall at Ellijay Missionary Baptist Church.

Frances's earthly body will rest at Ellijay Missionary Baptist church and cemetery, near her daughter. Reverend Bud Haire and Steve Webb will lead her services at Bible Baptist church (she was a member of Bible Baptist her whole life). Her Pallbearers will be Brandon Braun, Michael Koletsos, Jim Keener, James Keener, Joe Keener and Tim Pippio. Her honorary Pallbearers are Dom Sorrells, John Pippio, Brian Pippio, Bill Bell, Wade Keener and Howard Keener
