Nellie Mae Frank

Nellie Mae Frank, 90 of Prospect, died peacefully early Wednesday morning May 24, 2023 at the home of her daughter, with her loving family by her side.

She was born July 28, 1932 in Louisa, Kentucky to the late Hugh Sparks and Hattie Naomi (Leadingham) Sparks Mutters. She was also preceded in death by her husband, James M. Frank.

She was also predeceased by siblings, Emerson Sparks, Virginia Stout, William Mutters and John Mutters, In-laws, Virginia Esther Houk, Roger Hord, Guy “Sonny” Hord and Donald Hord.

Nellie adored her family. She loved going to anything her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren participated in. She was a long-time devoted member of the Prospect United Methodist Church. She enjoyed working with her flowers and frequently could be seen sitting on her front porch listening to the Cleveland Indians games. Nellie had worked at Hercules Mfg. in Prospect.
