Frankie Ann Sandage

Frankie Ann Sandage, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away on March 8, 2026, in Little Rock, Arkansas, at the age of 77.

Frankie was born on May 17, 1948, in Forrest City, Arkansas. She lived a life filled with kindness, warmth, and a love for the people around her. Those who knew Frankie will remember her gentle spirit, her laughter, and the way she made everyone feel welcome.

She enjoyed many simple joys in life, including crafting, traveling, and spending time with her friends and family. Her greatest joy, however, was her grandchildren, whom she loved dearly and cherished every moment she spent with them.

Frankie was preceded in death by her husband, Larry Walter Sandage; her parents, Edward and Francis Lindley; and her brother, Steven Lindley.

She is survived by her sons, Terry Don Sandage and his wife, Angela Kaye Sandage, and Ashley Wayne Sandage; her grandchildren, Andrew Kyle Sandage and his wife, Karen, and Alicia Katlyn Sandage; and a great-grandson expected to arrive in July 2026. She is also survived by her sister, Janet Barton and her husband, Dennis, along with many nieces, nephews, and dear friends. Frankie especially cherished her weekly lunches with “the girls,” Margaret Henson and Pam Crumby, who meant so much to her.

Visitation will be held Tuesday, March 17, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Smith Family Funeral Home in Benton, located at 322 N. Market Street, Benton, Arkansas 72015. A memorial service will be held Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at 10:00 AM, also at Smith Family Funeral Home.
