Frank Edwin Hartung

Frank Edwin Hartung, 84, of Boise Idaho died Friday, June 7, 2024; peacefully at home in the arms of his adoring wife, Janet (Ambrosini) Hartung; following a valiant battle with cancer.

Frank was born on February 2, 1940 in Cincinnati, Ohio to Raymond and Anna Hartung. He graduated from Harvard University and received his Masters at Stanford University. He moved to Houston, Texas

in the early 1960's for a career in the booming oil industry. Frank went on to become a securities broker. He was married briefly to Christin Stevens. Frank eventually decided to use his financial acumen to the benefit of the Texas State House of Representatives, where he proudly served for eight years before retiring. Frank met Janet while volunteering at a fundraiser for NPR, and they married in 2009, at which point he joined her in Boise.

An avid cyclist, Frank traveled the world, exploring and riding in many events. Everyone who knew him will remember his penchant for a good chocolate chip cookie, or even a mediocre one. Any cookie actually! Frank remained passionate and engaged in Republican politics, right up until this current election. He will forever be remembered as a gentle and humble man by all who knew him.

Frank will be welcomed into the presence of his Heavenly Father because of his lifelong faith in Jesus Christ.

In addition to Janet, he is survived by her daughter Aqua Hartzog and grandson Gabe. Frank is also survived by a sister MaryAnn Judson; nieces Linda (Judson) Creviston and Sandy (Judson) Kemink; and four grand-nieces; Marissa Creviston and Sarah, Molly and Lucy Kemink.
