Frank Wooten Obituary

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this very sad time. I have such fond memories of the time I had with your Dad and Mom---all the way back with Sallie as Pi Phi's at South Carolina. All of the Davis Family sends their dearest love to each of you. Sandra Davis Brewer

Rest in peace my old friend. Our boyhood days have always been a fond memory.

Dear Mary Beth, Jim, Baez and Curt . . . Sending lots of love and hugs to you! You have so so many wonderful memories with your dad . . . I always enjoyed chatting with him at different events at your house! Ed and Rhonda Chesson

Sallie Vee and Mary Beth my heart goes out to you and your families. Reading Franks obituary brought back so many wonderful Charlotte memories. As you know the two of you were the same age as my children. Two things that had really stuck in my mind were the time MB and Rhett painted a car of a lady visiting Sallie. Of course the paint belonged to Frank and he followed the trail that lead to that curly headed adorable little girl and her partner in crime. I think you were four. One more (even though I could keep going) was the walkie talkies that your dad hooked up from the Wooten play room to one of our bedrooms. The four of you kept them hot. I felt a deep lost when your wonderful mother died and your dads death brings the same sadness.
Love you both, Martha, Susan and Rhett

It's difficult to articulate the sense of loss I feel. Frank Wooten was a second father to me just as Sallie was my "other mother". I was welcomed into the Wooten family when I met them at North Litchfield as a 16 year-old local boy and have loved them ever since. Frank & Sallie were two of the nicest, generous and caring people that I've ever met. Sallie taught me the true meaning of southern hospitality and Frank taught me to salt water fish and how to be a proper southern gentleman. I have so many blissful memories of countless summer days spent at Litchfield Retreat with my surrogate family. Now at 57; I still remain in contact with Sallie Vee & Mary Beth. My heart and prayers are with you both as you work your way through this. I'll always remember Frank with a smile on his face and kind words for whomever he was conversing with. He will be terribly missed. God bless you Frank.

We are so saddened by Franks passing. He was always so kind to us, kept us on our toes, and never failed to make us smile. Frank was a true gentleman. His passing is heavens gain and our loss. Love to Sallie Vee and her family The staff at Plantation Pharmacy

I will truly miss seeing Frank when I visit my mother at Franke. He was always friendly to my mother and had a wonderful way of showing kindness. We are all very saddened by this loss. May God be with his family.

Mary Beth and Sallie Vee,
Sending you our love and prayers during this difficult time. We are so sorry that we can not be with you on Friday but will be thinking of you and your families.

Dear Sallie Vee and Mary Beth, Daryl and I send our love and prayers to you at this time of your Fathers passing. Frank and Sallie were always so much fun and such a joy to be with during our Isbell family gatherings. We will be with you in thought on Friday.

Mary Beth, we are so sorry to hear of your Dads passing. Love and prayers for you and your family at this difficult time.

Sallie Vee & Mary Beth, So sorry to hear about the death of your sweet dad! You know he was always a second dad to me. Big Frank was always so loving & accepting. He expected us to be responsible & look after each other & we sure did! He will never be forgotten. What fun we all had on Hassell Place & at North Litchfield. I will cherish my times with your family since I was in the 5th grade. Love you all & are sorry for your loss. MC

May you feel God's love surrounding you. You are in my prayers for strength and comfort.

The end of an era. There will never be another Frank and Sallie. Love them both.
Sandra Browning

Sending love and condolences to Sallie Vee and Mary Beth upon hearing this sad news. Frank and Sallie were class acts in every way. I have wonderful memories of Hassell Place and condo 316 with all of the Wooten's. So happy they are together again in heaven.

SallyVee and Marybeth,

i was sorry to see Franks obituary in the observer this morning but it allowed me to reflect on my very early experience in Charlotte. When i first came to visit Charlotte as a place to practice,I came armed with the name of Sally and Frank Wooten given to me by Lynn Irwin, a high school friend and a friend of your parents. I called your mom and dad from the motel on Scott avenue which no longer exists and got a fabulous 'welcome to Charlotte conversation which made me feel like Charlotte might be the right place for Linde and I to set up stakes. Upon coming to Charlotte your mom and dad became fast and supporting friends. Your mom was one of my best PR representatives. We loved the Latin school experience especially sitting with your dad at basketball games, both of us quite vocal. Your dad by this time was working for Merrill lynch and helped me start an investment account and gave me advice on saving for the future. As years passed your dad made a remarkable recovery from his stroke through hard work and determination. We loved reminiscing about old times' as we joined Blowing Rock ,played golf, partied, and celebrated. Your mom was remarkably enthusiastic ,funny and brave as she faced her cancer ,setting an example for us all. Only Sally would have her hair dresser and her plastic surgeon as pall bearers. We all loved BIG FRANK for his humor, his enthusiasm, and his tenacity. They were a fabulous pairlike George Burns and Gracie Allen- . We loved them like big brother and big sister.
You all have great genes and great personalities a gift from two really special parents .

love, Bill and Linde Mullis
