Eli Franklin "Frank" Treadway, 90, of Gahanna, Ohio passed away Saturday, April 18, 2020 from complications related to Covid-19. Born April 28, 1929 in Beckley, West Virginia to Lettie and Oscar Treadway. Also preceded in death by his wife Callista "Chris" Kilbarger Treadway, sisters Kaye, Annabelle and Eileen. He is survived by his children, Pamela (Shane) Killebrew, Michele Treadway, Dawn Treadway, and Jeff Treadway; grandchildren, Logan and Sam Killebrew and Chace and Kain Treadway. Frank was a beloved coach of youth sports, a veteran of the United States Navy, and helped create a local branch of the Special Olympics in Gahanna, so his daughter and her classmates could also enjoy sports.

He and his family owned and operated The Italian Eatery, a local favorite! Frank touched many lives and will be deeply missed!

Pam, Michele, Dawn and Jeff, it was with great sadness that Kelly and I read of your dad's passing. We remember him as being a great dad, husband and community member. He was always so friendly and interested in our lives. Anytime we ran into him, we had a great, positive, uplifting conversation. You're a wonderful family, part of the fabric of Gahanna, along with those pasta chips, a standout family for wich we have many fond memories! It's great that your dad and mom are now united and we pray for peace in your hearts and lives. BEST to all of you, you are loved!
