Mary Frank

March 4, 1939 - March 31, 2025

Mary Frank, 86, of Hamilton, passed away Monday, March 31, 2025, at Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane, Wash.

Mary was born in Grantsdale, on March 4, 1939. She is survived by her husband, Jack; and her three sons, Rich, Willie and JM Foley; stepsons, Gary and Douglas Frank; and numerous grandchildren.

Mary grew up in Seattle, and when visiting her brother, Ed Shivel, in the Hamilton area met Bill Foley who Ed was friends with. She moved back to Montana and they fell in love and got married and started a family. She lived on the Ranch with husband, Bill, and her sons. She loved being on the ranch and being around the cattle and horses. Mary became a true Montana cowgirl.

After her kids graduated High School, she decided to attend Missoula Vocational College and got her cosmetology license which enabled her to became a beautician. This had been something she wanted to try doing for some time. After a few years of doing this, she decided that it wasn't really for her. She really wanted a fresh start and after over 30 years of marriage, she separated from Bill.

Mary then moved to the Spokane area to be close to the family she had there. She loved being around all her sons and their families very much and there wasn't anything she wouldn't do for them, and tried to help them any way she could. She stayed in this area till she moved back to Hamilton.

After a few years went by, she then met her new husband, Jack Frank, which she met through the church and after two years of their on and off romance, they got married in 2015.

Funeral services were held Wednesday, April 9, 2025, at the Daly-Leach Chapel in Hamilton.

Interment followed at Riverview Cemetery in Hamilton.
