GRACE FRONK
(1933 - 2017)
Grace Marie Fronk, age 84, of Two Rivers, passed away peacefully on All Saints Day, Wednesday, November 1, 2017 at Northridge in Manitowoc.
Grace was born on August 30, 1933 in the Town of Franklin, daughter of the late William and Anna (Zahorik) Fronk. In 1954 she graduated from East High School in Green Bay. For Grace, the achievement was especially great because she was deaf from infancy and had to learn both speech and lipreading. Upon her graduation, the Hamilton Manufacturing Company in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, requested a report on the ability and character of Grace whom the company wanted to hire for its engraving department. Grace got the job, working at the company for the next 34 years. She also volunteered at the Horace Mann Library. Always upbeat and happy, Grace enjoyed bowling, watching movies, and spending time with family and friends. Whitie, a feisty chihuahua, also enhanced her life. For Grace life was good. She relished the simple things in life: a good cup of coffee, a rich dessert, a competitive game of cards. Grace endured through early-onset Alzheimer's disease and blindness. In spite of all the challenges she faced, Grace accepted her quiet world with an attitude and faith worthy of her name.
Survivors include her sister-in-law: Betty Fronk, DePere, her brother-in-law: Don Thorne, Francis Creek; along with 10 nieces and nephews: Bill (Linda) Fronk, Kaye (Jon) Froseth, Liz (Kip) Behrendt, Mary Ann (John) Penglase, Barb (Doug) Reamer, Julie (Pat) Deprey, Ann (Keith) Kaufmann, Terry (Lynne) Thorne, Beverly (Mike) Bersch and Bradley (Julie) Thorne.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her three brothers: Richard, Bernard and Stanley; her sister: Carol; her sister-in-law: Beatrice; and one nephew: Jerry Fronk.
Funeral Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, November 6, 2017 at St. Peter the Fisherman Catholic Church, Two Rivers. Officiating at the Mass of Christian Burial will be the Rev. Maurice Mmegbuadimma. Burial will take place at St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery in Tisch Mills at a later time.
The family will greet relatives and friends on Monday, November 6, 2017 at St. Peter the Fisherman Catholic Church, Two Rivers, from 9:30 a.m. until 10:45 a.m.
Expressions of sympathy may be sent to the family by visiting www.kleinandstangel.com.
The Klein and Stangel Funeral Home, Two Rivers, is assisting the family with funeral arrangements.
Thank you to all who visited Grace, especially Jean Stahl, who held her hand and cared for her deeply. The family also appreciates the special staff at Compassus Hospice and Northridge, who watched over Grace for so many years.
