Frankie Mozingo

Frances Marie Mozingo was born in Centerville, Arkansas, March 9, 1940, to Matt Douglas and Nora (Crow) Millner. She left her home in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, to meet Jesus on Sunday, December 28, 2025. Frankie was one of three children growing up in Arkansas. She graduated high school from Ola, Arkansas, in 1957. She continued her education at Sparks Memorial Hospital School of Nursing in Fort Smith to become a registered nurse. During this time, Frankie met the debonair and fun- loving Ivy Mozingo. They married November 23, 1963, settled in Tulsa and then later in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Frankie served 30 years as an RN at St. Francis Hospital, first as a surgical nurse before finishing her career in the Heart Cath Lab. Soccer was Frankie’s passion. She recognized the values, camaraderie and self-confidence it could bring to the kids she coached. She coached for 34 years, acclaiming recognition as the National Soccer Coach of the Year (1995); appointment as the US Olympic Development Coach (1996) and induction into the Oklahoma Soccer Hall of Fame (2006). But beyond all the honors, Frankie’s driving force for coaching was the players, “Frankie’s girls.” Frankie was always on the move. She enjoyed boating and fishing. She relished travel in the US and abroad with her children, grandchildren and long-time friends. She poured back into her community by supporting the Broken Arrow Neighbors as a volunteer. She was a member at the Arrow Heights Baptist Church. Frankie was a fierce and loving matriarch with a dry sense of humor. She lived a life of worthy of being called a Christian. She touched the lives of so many and will be sorely missed. Survived by children Gene Mozingo (Sarah), David Mozingo, Marsha Bruce (Alan); grandchildren Dustin Mozingo (Kasey), Cassie Milliser (Cody); great-grandchildren Ayden Beesley Mozingo, Truett Milliser; sister Janice Millner; nephew Mike Beaman.
