Frances Goodman is the main protagonist of the Chick Tract entitled "The Last Surprise".
The Last Surprise[]
Frances is a fairly rich woman, having inherited a fortune from her late husband Earl, who apparently worked in real estate. She is very controlling of local pastor Baldwin, believing that her large financial donations to the church give her the right to heavily influence his decisions and threatening to cut off this financial support unless he does whatever she wants. When she is first introduced, she gives a check to the church so that they can change the color of their carpet.
When she is at the church, a youth pastor named Glen comes to her and asks her if she is saved. She is immediately enraged by his questions, and she goes to Baldwin and demands that he be fired, not even caring that Glen needed the job to support his wife who has cancer and is pregnant. After Glen leaves, Frances continues to harass Baldwin to the point that he has a heart attack and dies. He is soon replaced by a man named Glenn Benson.
Glenn gets on Frances' bad side almost immediately. When she goes to his office, intent on telling him what his first sermon should be about, she is informed by the church secretary that she cannot just barge in and see him at any time like she could with Pastor Baldwin; she would need to make an appointment. Further, the secretary returns Frances' check, on the grounds that while he was grateful for the gift, Glenn thinks the church's carpeting looks fine the way it is. Glenn's first sermon further intensifies Frances' anger at him. When Glenn begins talking about Hell, Frances is immediately angered, because she claims everybody knows that Hell does not exist, and she leaves. While on the road leading to her home, continuing to fume over the new preacher, she goes through a red light and dies in a car crash. She is then dragged to Hell to be tortured for eternity.
