Franke’s Story

Site created on March 20, 2018

Welcome to Franke Bell's CaringBridge website.  Because she knows people worldwide, we are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place.  

Friday morning, March 16, 2018, Franke was transported to the hospital because of a fall and suspected TIAs. Franke suffered a massive stroke soon after hospital admission. Her condition has made independent living no longer possible as she requires total skilled nursing care.
Her address is:
 Room 702 Trinity Ridge 
2140 Medical Park Drive
Hickory 2860
Following link is a trailer made to document Franke.  She is an Amazing woman who loves God with her whole heart and has spent her life coaching, loving, guiding, nurturing those around her.  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z__JqPdXZ2w

 Thank you for visiting Franke's page and caring about her.

Journal entry by catherine schiffel

Franke had a quiet birthday, but it was a good one.  She was in a sweet mood all day, though confused a bit. Her sitter Karen sent pretty flowers and a balloon because she could not be there today, another sitter (?) made a bunny rabbit she loves and wanted on her table all day, Greg visited, and sitter Becky visited as Greg was leaving. Connie substituted for Karen today and said even though it rained, they still had a good day, and she enjoyed her meals. She was excited about the new outfit and nightgowns we brought her.  I told her every girl needs a new spring outfit.  I didn’t take my phone and didn’t get a picture today.  The attached is from Ashley when they went out for the eclipse. Franke was not very interested, but she told me she watched a little bit.
