Evelyn M. Frank

Evelyn "Evie" May Frank age 99, died peacefully Wednesday, August 7, 2024 at Mill Pond Health Campus, Greencastle, IN, following a brief illness.
Evie was born to the late Cecil Glen and Margaret May Frank on June 17, 1925 on Franks Hill Road,Poland, Indiana. She was blessed to have been able to live in that same home until moving to Mill Pond in 2021.
As a young woman, Evie worked on the family farm helping her Father with various livestock and farming activities, eventually her focus would be on raising hogs which she took over following her Fathers death in 1961. When once asked about her career, she responded that she had always thought of herself as a 'Lady Farmer'. Evie was a member and Elder at the Jordan Presbyterian Church until it closed. Evie was also active in the Poland Historical Chapel and was very interested in the history of Owen County as well as family genealogy. Evie loved to travel and take pictures, as well as learn about places, culture and religion. She was an avid reader, loved crossword puzzles, Jeopardy, word searches and playing scrabble, anything to keep her mind active as she would often say. Evie never married or had children, she was a great role model and friend to her nieces and nephews. She was always grateful for a visit, a talk as well as a ride in the country, always telling us to come back anytime, she'd be there.
Evie is survived by Sister-in-law Betty (Edwin) Frank; Nieces, Connie Geiger, Vicki (Mark) Qualls, Sandi Wolfram, Patti (Scott) Malone, Dinah (Louie, Jr.) Geiger, Della (Mark) Geiger; Nephew, Gary Frank; Great Nieces, Hillary (Mike) Mazur, Andrea (Jason) Byrom, Rachel Qualls; Great Nephews; Chris (Rebecca) Geiger, Ryan Qualls, Scott Geiger.
