Franklin Freddie Hatfield

Franklin Freddie Hatfield, 70, of Spice Creek Rd., Gilbert, WV, went to be with the Lord on January 4, 2022, from Camden Clark Medical Center, Parkersburg, WV.

Born on June 2, 1951, at Guyan, WV. in Wyoming County, he was the son of the late Onnie and Maggie (Morgan) Hatfield.

 Freddie was a loving father, grandfather, husband, brother, and a man of God. He was a disabled coal miner. He loved sitting on the porch, gardening with his “green thumb” and he loved to dig ginseng and he loved to deer hunt.  He was a lifelong member of the Christian Freewill Baptist Church. Freddie would do anything for anyone and was fiercely loyal to his family and those he loved. He could fix anything. His grandchildren and great grandchildren meant the world to him. He loved them the “most-est”.
