Biography: Christen Cazort Franke, 37, passed away Sunday December 4, 2016. She was so much more than we can write in this space, this is almost impossible to do. She was born May 15, 1979 in Little Rock, AR. After college she became the manager, and heart and soul, of her family?s restaurant, Franke's Cafeteria. She worked side by side with her beloved parents, William and Carolyn Franke, in continuing on the tradition of providing food served with love to the community. She was set to marry her fianc?, the love of her life, Daniel Christakos, on January 14, 2017 and had never been happier. She was a best friend and sister, to Kathryn Franke Kitchens, and a loving sister-in-law to Kevin Kitchens. In one of her most favorite roles, she was beloved Aunt CC to her niece and nephew, Katelyn and Andrew. For them, she hung the moon, and is now dancing in the stars. She was also an adored friend to many, granddaughter, niece, cousin, daughter-in-law, and a respected member of the restaurant community. She was loved by all who knew her and could light up a room with her smile. She will be greatly missed. Heaven has never shined so bright. A celebration of Christen?s life will be held on December 9, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. at St. James United Methodist Church, 321 Pleasant Valley Drive, Little Rock. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in her honor to the Humane Society of Pulaski County.

It's hard to accept the news. Franke made my senior year at Central and young adult years memorable whether it was listening to her belt out a tune, putting me on to Tori Amos or grabbing a bite at the restaurant. I knew more than likely I would see her there anytime I visited home and wanted to catch up. I will always remember her big heart, straight forward delivery with kindness and her awesome hair. My condolences to The Franke family and her fianc?.

Mr. & Mrs. Franke -
Our hearts were saddened at the news of Christen's passing. Even though we did not know her personally, we came to love seeing her and her beautiful smile and her friendliness to all she met. Katie and I, and Frank who passed away almost 11 years ago, have enjoyed eating at your table for more than 25 years and have come to love your family. May God hold you all tight and carry you through this time of loss and give you a peace beyond understanding. We continue to pray for you all.

When I think of Christen I think about our time together at Waldemar. We were inseparable, took all the same classes, earned every canoeing achievement possible as partners, to watching her shine in Drama class.. without her, I'm not sure I could have gotten on the plane every summer and said goodbye to my family.. She was an amazing friend and for a month every summer my family.. I will always remember the times we shared! I'm praying for you all! Lots of love.

So sorry for the loss of Christen. I always looked forward to seeing her somewhere along the serving line whenever I ate at either store. I first came to know her at the downtown location and, most recently at the Rodney Parham site. I was there on this past Sunday and remember wondering where she was. I pray that God comforts your family. Peace to you during this tragic time.

Carolyn, Bill, Kathryn and family,
Debbie and I are thinking of you and sending prayers for comfort and a sense of God's presence at this dark and difficult time. Your sense of loss must surely feel almost impossible to bear. Christen has been so nice to us and we loved her warm and gracious spirit. Whether we were talking about neighborhood news, food and service business, holiday d?cor, or just her greetings at the restaurant, Christen's enthusiasm and smile was contagious. The loss of someone so young, talented and with so much ahead of her is beyond comprehension. However, we also offer a prayer of thanksgiving for her beautiful life. Our deepest condolences.

Of this tragedy. Karrol and I had seen her at Frankes West just a couple months ago and got to visit a bit. So happy for that time.

To: Franke Family:
I was saddened today to see the note on the door as my daughter and I went in to eat. That was a big shock to hear about Kristen. She will be terribly missed as she had that infectious smile and the friendly heart of greeting people. My dad, the late Richard Rideout, would always ask Mrs. Franke, "How is Kristen"? He adored her. She would always take the time to talk to him when she walked by where we were sitting. Our prayers and sympathy is with the Franke family.
Hugs and Prayers,
Donna Faulkner and family

OOOOOOOh how we had grown to adore your splendid Christen. All the Franke clan - and the endeared Cafeteria Staff - have long made it a delicious joy to dine at your bountiful table. If we calculated the Franke-meals over the past decades as compared with lunches eaten with our own far-away-clan, you would understand why we too ache at the end of this precious life. We may not have said the words, but we would hope through our actions, you knew our household - like countless other families - think of all at Franke's as 'part of our own.'
Always remember, in woeful times, the glowing answer is 'FAITH' -- 'FAITH in JESUS THE CHRIST & THE LIVING GOD;' Therefore, please know without reservation - this darling Daughter is beyond The Pearly Gates and within the magnificent glory of Paradise. Today, precious Christen is lovingly cradled in the arms of THE ALMIGHTY.

Christen brought so much joy to my dad, Lawrence. They would kid all the time when we were at the restaurant, his favorite place to go. She was saddened to hear he wouldn't be able to come back after he became ill in July. I still picked his food up for him and she asked about him every time. I'm sure my dad welcomed Christen with one of his big hugs as she walked through heavens gate. My sincere sympathy.

I could always count on Christen to liven up the mood when things got stressful and count on her hair whenever my mom got onto me about mine (haha). Christen was an incredible person inside and out. She will be missed and I will continue to pray for your family through this time of grief. Love you, guys!

You made her so happy. To the Franke family, Christen was an amazing friend and amazing person. To the Franke's Cafeteria family- I know her dedication and genuine spirit will be missed.

Christen was my cousin, a year behind me in school. We went to the same high school and college, and more importantly, she was the only other person I know with the middle name "Cazort." That's something I couldn't say about anyone else, and it bonded us in a strange way that is hard to explain. She was full of life and I will miss her, like so many others.

Christen Franke was one of the biggest personalities I have ever known. When I think of her I will always see her singing and dancing. She was hard working, loving, funny, and beautiful. Inside and out. I was lucky to have her in my life. I am so glad we were friends. I have so many stories that involve her and I will cherish them always. I wish we had longer. I'm so sorry for the Franke family, her fiance, Daniel, her co-workers at Franke's, and her many many friends. There will never be another like her.

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Christen's passing. I looked forward to seeing her in Franke's and loved seeing her so happy when she was having dinner with her fiance. She was so kind and so sweet. She saw me out late one night walking the dog and stopped to make sure I was all right. I am so very sorry for your loss and will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
