Born on May 11, 1925, in Laurens County, Georgia, Mrs. English was the ninth child of the late Louis and Louiza Moore Blackshear. On January 30, 1943, she married David "Flam" English, and to this union, nine children were born. She was a member of the Union Grove Church of God In Christ family where she served faithfully before uniting with her extended family at Laurens Hill Baptist Church where she served on the Usher Board until her health began to decline. She made her transition to eternity on July 3, 2016. Her husband, three sons, Johnny, Haybut and David, Jr., and siblings, Louise Mack, Ellen Hudson, Lovie Williams, Carrie Evans, Ada Lewis, Catherine Butler, Johnny Blackshear and Louis Blackshear, and a loving son-in-law, George "Joe" Clover, all preceded her in death.

Memories will be shared by so many, who called her "Ma Frances", who enjoyed her many delicious meals, wonderful cakes, pork skins, old fashioned tea cakes, vegetable and flower gardens and quilts she made for her children and grandchildren, and those close to her, and by the neighborhood children she nurtured who will remember the wisdom she imparted that will be passed down to generations to come.

She leaves a legacy of much love to be remembered and cherished by four daughters, Francina Peterson of Austell, Josephine Surry of Conley, Mary L. Clover of East Dublin, and Dollie English of Dublin, two sons, Deacon Nesbert (Rosa) English of Dudley, and Minister Ira (Linenell) English of Jonesboro, two devoted daughters-in-law Rose E. English of Dudley, and Mary R. English of Semmes, Alabama, sisters-in-law, Mamie Brazil of Montrose, and Magalene Mack of Ashburn, thirty-six grandchildren, thirty-nine great grandchildren and nine great-great grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, one godson, Lawson Carr of Dudley, devoted and caring caregivers, niece, Mary Lou Walker of Dexter, and Pastor Geraldine Cadle of Forest Park, CNA Jammie Gilbert, of East Dublin, and Dr. M. Patel of Dublin, and many other relatives and friends.

The family is receiving friends at 1453 Willis Jackson Road in Dudley.
