Frankfort CUSD #168 notes the passing of Miss Allis Hays, a 1940 graduate of FCHS who, with her identical twin sister Phyllis taught kindergarten at West Frankfort schools from the early 1940s until 1983, passed away February 28 at age 102. Several generations of students had Miss Allis to start their school career.
She and her sister continue to serve their community in the years since their retirement. They helped sponsor a scholarship for FCHS students going into the field of education for over 20 years. Miss Allis Hays left a long and positive legacy for both her students and her fellow teachers. May we all work to meet the standards that she and her late sister set.
Visitation beings at 10 and services are at 11 on Saturday morning, March 8 from at the First Baptist Church in West Frankfort. Arrangements are through Union Funeral Home.
