As I recall, she was a pedestrian killed by a car on Glendale Avenue outside WHS.  I believe it was in our freshman year (1966-1967).

Frankie was killed by a drunk in a head on collision in her little death trap of a car. Sally Tucker survived. Her senior picture was also her obituary picture. She was a friend of mine.
