Edward Frank

On November 26, 2024, Edward “Eddie” Michael Frank left his loved ones too early. Eddie was a lifelong resident of Elberta and member of St. Bartholomew Catholic Church. He was born on August 7, 1950, to Ruby Gruber Frank and Edward Frank. Eddie was the oldest of 6 children and was a member of a large extended family. He loved telling stories of his family’s history and German heritage. Eddie attended St. Benedict Catholic School and graduated Foley High School in 1968. On January 29, 1972, Eddie married his loving (nagging) and devoted wife, Patsy Mothershed. They were not only the love of each other’s lives, they were best friends, business partners, mentors to their children, and comforters to their grandchildren. Eddie especially enjoyed cooking and trying new recipes for his family on Sundays and Holidays. Eddie’s farming roots extended back multiple generations to his ancestors in Germany. He was passionate about agriculture. Eddie enjoyed selling produce at local farmer’s markets where he made friends and could share his farming knowledge. Many family memories of Eddie involve the farm. Eddie is survived by his wife of 52 years, Patsy Frank, and their four children--Erica (Robbie) Hitt, Edward “Todd” (Jessica) Frank, Jill (David) Styron, and Abby (Brian) Crow. Over the last 17 years, Pop-E’s greatest joy was his nine grandchildren- Davey Styron, Brantley Frank, Frankie Styron, Eric Hitt, Gunner Frank, Maggie Styron, Caroline Hitt, Rebekah Hitt, and Hampton Crow. Eddie is also survived by 3 sisters, 1 brother, a large extended family, and friends. Eddie is preceded in death by his parents Edward and Ruby Frank and loving sister Jane Frank Woerner. A mass of Christian burial will be held at St. Bartholomew Catholic Church 12795 Illinois St. Elberta, Al 36530 on December 2, 2024, at 10:00 AM. Visitation will be held at the church at 9:00 AM. Interment will follow at Prince of Peace Cemetery in Elberta. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking donations to be made to GiGi’s Playhouse New Orleans Down Syndrome Achievement Center (https://gigisplayhouse.org/neworleans/) or your local Future Farmer of America Chapter.
