Obituary

Elizabeth “Ann” Frank, 91, originally from New Brunswick, NJ, and most recently residing in Clendenin, WV, entered into eternal rest on October 6, 2023, at Hubbard Hospice House in Charleston, WV.

Ann was born December 8, 1931, and had a zest for life unmatched by any. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and sister. Ann’s faith was the cornerstone of a life well lived. Her passion for education earned her an undergraduate degree from West Virginia State University and a Master’s of Theology from Georgian Court University at the age of 75.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 47 years, Richard M. Frank; daughter-in-law, Tracy Frank; parents, Elizabeth and Edmund Buckelew; and siblings, Harry Buckelew, Edward Buckelew, Mary Peterson, Richard Buckelew, Harold Buckelew, William Buckelew, and Joseph Buckelew.

Ann is survived by her children, Richard (Andrea) Frank, Diane (Richard) Wheatley, Suzanne (Jack) Rose, Anne (Frank) Marshall, and Peter Frank; 8 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.

The family would like to thank Dr. James Griffith and Dr. Kristi Hensley and staff for their compassion and care throughout the years, and the staff at Hubbard Hospice House for the exceptional care they provided to Ann and her family in her final days.

Catholic Funeral Rites will be held at 2:00 p.m. Monday, October 9, 2023, at the Basilica of the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, 1114 Virginia Street East, Charleston, WV, with the Very Rev. Father Donald X. Higgs officiating.
