Ms. Frances Fields Walker

Ms. Frances Dodd Fields Walker, age 90, of Dallas, Georgia passed away on Tuesday, February 17, 2026 in Dallas, Georgia.

Ms. Walker was born November 6, 1935 in Dallas, Georgia to Mr. Joseph Reynolds Dodd and Mrs. Irene Womack Dodd.

She worked as a licensed practical nurse for Paulding Memorial Hospital. She was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, great-great grandmother, sister and friend to many.

Frances worked 40 years at Paulding Hospital and nursing home. She was a caring nurse and her patients loved her. Doctors loved reading her nurse’s notes. She once wrote about a patient saying he was like a bellowing giant. I’m sure her notes were entertaining.

Her hobbies include crocheting many doilies over the years and making quilts. She loved gardening with plants and flowers of all kinds. She had a green thumb and could root most anything in a glass of water. She loved to cook for her family especially at holidays. She enjoyed shopping at Rich’s back in the day. In her retired years, she shopped at thrift stores finding unique treasures. The folks at the “Catholic” thrift store in Dallas knew her and grew to love her.

The most common comment I hear about her is her friendly smile and it was beautiful, indeed. She kept folks smiling and laughing every chance she got. She also loved writing poems and journaling about everyday life and events like who all had been to visit on holidays.

She attended 2nd Baptist Church Dallas, where she was a faithful member for 60+ years.

Frances lived the last three years of her life at Kimberly Personal Care Home in Dallas. When she first arrived there she played Bingo a lot. Then one day she said she had a belly full of it and stopped playing. She loved the residents there and made many friends. She was still a nurse and tried to help them when she was able. Even if only holding their hand, she was showing love for them. I’m sure the staff will always have fond memories of Frances. She is a one in a million character and we will miss her dearly.

She was preceded in death by her parents; Brother, Bill Dodd, Wendell Dodd, and infant brother Thomas Clyde Dodd; Sister, Sara Butler.

She is survived by: Daughter, Ms. Diane Willingham; Sons, Mr. Dennis (Connie) Fields, Mr. Kenneth (Lori) Fields, Mr. Corey (Deborah) Fields; Grandchildren, Mrs. KIim (Steve) Lee, Mrs. Karen (Tommy) Freeman, Mrs. Amy (Andreas) Economopoulos, Mr. Wesley (Kelli) Fields, Ms. Hannah Scoggins, Mr. Jeremiah (Tiffany) Fields, Mrs. Autumn (Jonathan) Blan, Mr. Brandon Fields, Mrs. Courtney (Brett) East; Great Grandchildren, Mrs. Lakin (Carl) Jacobs, Lindsey Freeman, Alyssa Freeman, Aiden Economopoulos, Anna Economopoulos, Kaius Fields, Bodhi Fields, Jacob Fields, Carly Fields, Benton Blan, Aspyn Blan, Hudson Blan, Hallie Blan, Audrey Ferrell, Finley Ferrell, Everly East, Eliott East, Mackenzie Fields, Ansley Fields, Isaac Fields; Great Great Grandchildren, Lorelei Jacobs, Saxon Jacobs; Brother, Mr. Roger (Brenda) Dodd; Sister, Mrs. Gail (Jeff) Jenkins; Nieces and Nephews.

Rev. Dwight L.Young, 95, went to be with Jesus on March 2, 2026, in Hiram, Georgia.

He was a faithful member of New Canaan Baptist Church in Dallas, Georgia. He was born in Union Church, MS, at home on October 4, 1930, the fourth child and first son to Leon V. and Dollie Thornton Young. He made his profession of faith at the age of 12.

Dwight knew at a young age that he wanted to be a pastor. He graduated from Mississippi College, and then Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity degree.

He was a veteran of the Korean War.

Dwight held pastorates in western Canada, Michigan, South Carolina, and Arizona. His calling was to be a church planter where he pastored small churches and grew them into larger churches.

Rev. Young had a passion for sharing the Gospel of Christ and winning the lost to know Jesus. He ministered to people and met them where they were and cared for their needs. His favorite Bible verse was, “This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24).

He always had a smile on his face and faced life with joy in his heart. Some of his interests over the years included tinkering with cars, fixing anything, bowling, boating, and card games, but most of all spending time with his daughters and their families.

Rev. Young is preceded in death by his parents; his first wife of 52 years, Carolyn Collins Young; his second wife of 17 years, Christine Cochran Young; and his three sisters and two brothers.

He is survived by his four daughters: Brenda Ferrell (TN), Peggy Chase (Ron) (AZ), Sharon Maddox (GA), and Sandra Burnham (David) (GA); 8 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews.

The family will hold a Celebration of Life on May 9, 2026, at 11 am at Benson’s Funeral Home in Dallas, Georgia, with receiving of friends at 10 am.
