Frank Goodwin Whitfield was born in Montgomery, Alabama to Louis Broughton Whitfield and his wife, Virginia Goodwin Whitfield. They lived on Perry Street in Montgomery, Alabama. Frank graduated in the class of 1956 from Sidney Lanier High School in Montgomery, Alabama. He died on 15 January 1996 in Montgomery, Alabama and is buried in the family plot at Greenwood Cemetery in Montgomery, Alabama. His marker bears the death date of 20 January 1996 but Social Security Records show the exact date of death as being 15 January, 1996. Perhaps the family recorded the death of his burial rather than the exact date of death. On his marker are the words "Father - Husband) along with his full name. His father established the Whitfield Pickle Company in Montgomery and his work was continued by his wife, Virginia.
