Annette Frymark Obituary

Frymark, Annette Mae Annette Frymark (née Rossen), age 89, of Burr Ridge, died Friday, January 17, at her home surrounded by her family. She was born February 27, 1924 in Oak Park, Illinois, and grew up in River Forest with her mother Ruth Rossen, her brother Matthew, and her grandparents. She was a graduate of Oak Park and River Forest High School. In 1946 she married William Frymark, M.D. and accompanied him during his Naval service on Guam. They later lived in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin and in Oak Park before making their family home in Hinsdale, where they resided for 47 years before moving to Burr Ridge. Summers were spent with family in Saugatuck, Michigan. Annette was a devoted daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother, a volunteer for Meals on Wheels, a member of the Hinsdale Hospital Distaff, the Infant Welfare Society of Hinsdale, the Suburban Protestant Guild of Oak Park, and the Hinsdale Golf Club. She was preceded in death by her mother Ruth, her brother Matthew Rossen, and her parents-in-law Emily and August Frymark. She is survived by Bill, her devoted husband of 67 years, her loving children Nancy (Calvin) Roesner, William (Cynthia) Frymark, Jr., MD, and John (Tami) Frymark. She is also survived by seven cherished grandchildren; Charles (Marisa Wlodek) Roesner, Anne (Nicholas) Petty, Craig (Jenn) Frymark, Carolyn (John) Vendafreddo, Keith Frymark, Alison Frymark, and Jack Frymark. In the past year she also became great-grandmother to Virginia Mae Petty and Cameron Crawford Frymark. Annette will be remembered by her family and friends as an avid tennis player who loved to sing and dance, usually in the kitchen, and play the piano by ear. She also never met a dog she did not like. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made to the charity of your choice.

Mrs. Frymark was like a sister to my mom. Thoughtful and generous, she always treated everyone in our family like a member of her own. Plus, she had that crazy spin serve......
