Mevne (Meg) Frank passed away peacefully on March 3, 2025, after seven weeks of pain battling the evil disease called cancer nine days after her 68th birthday in her home in Buffalo, Mont. Meg was born in Missoula, Mont., on February 22, 1957 to Cecil and Beverly (Patterson) Gilmore. She lived in Billings, Mont., Glengary, Mont., and Bozeman, Mont. in her childhood. Meg attended school in Billings all her school years except her one year in Bozeman. Meg graduated from Billings West High in 1975. She did one year at Montana State University in Nursing.

Meg met and dated Calvin Frank in high school and they were married on August 20, 1976. They lived in Bozeman while Cal went to MSU and Meg got her PHTS (Put Hubby Thru School) degree. Their 1st daughter Jessica was born in Bozeman on May 6, 1979. After graduation they moved to Montana City in 1980. Daughters, Rachel and Nicole, were born in Helena, Mont. on November 30, 1981 and November 28, 1983, respectively. While living in Montana City, Mont., Meg and Cal did foster care for several years for three different children. In 1990, they moved to Glendive, Mont. where they lived for five and a half years. While in Glendive, Lynsay, who was a foster child, was adopted into the family. In 1996, they moved to Butte where they lived for five and a half years. In 2001, Meg got her "life long dream" of moving and living in Buffalo.
