Frank Tew Obituary
On Sunday, July 20, 2025, Frank was reunited with his loving wife in Heaven, passing away at his home in Alexander County.
Frank was born in Sampson County on March 2, 1941, to his parents, the late Elsworth and Maggie Knowles Tew.
Frank worked in textiles until he retired. He was a Charter member of Friendship Baptist Church in Hudson. He was very helpful with the Samaritan's Purse Shoeboxes by sewing hundreds of totes. Frank liked fishing, gardening and doing leather work for equestrian use.
Frank lovingly cared for his wife Irene during her lengthy illness until her death earlier this year. He is also preceded in death by his parents and his sister-in-law, Ima Faye Fann Tew, and a nephew, Lewis Tew.
Left to cherish his memory are his stepdaughters, Gail Hubbard of Granite Falls and Gloria Hubbard of Hudson; and step-grandsons and step-granddaughter. Special friends he loved as family are Allison Ward (Robert) and children of Knoxville, Tennessee, and Jesse Parker (Tasha) and children of Hildebran. A brother, Ellis Tew, and a sister Jeanette (Johnny) Cashwell, along with nieces and nephews. Special friends Jerry and Brenda Roper and Karen Parker.
A graveside service will be held at 4 p.m., Friday, July 25, at Friendship Baptist Church in Hudson.

I am so sorry to just hear that Frank passed. I had the pleasure of meeting Frank at the Springs Road Flea Market. When I say that he was the kindest man I ever met, it is an understatement because he was much more than that as you know. I have missed his kind , calming demeanor ever since the market closed. I pray that the family has found peace and comfort because he definitely would want it. God bless his family and all of the friends who miss him and especially the people who missed out on meeting this wonderful man.

I will forever be grateful to Uncle Frank for sharing his love of/for horses. I am going to miss his "horse" advice and experience.
