Phyllis Noreen Frank, 98, of Jamestown, NY, passed from this world to her eternal rest on October 10, 2026, while in hospice care at Rouse Home in Youngsville, PA. Born on August 16, 1928, in Conewango, NY, she was the daughter of the late Fred and Geneva Frank. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Arnold Frank.
Phyllis was a nurse by profession and a caregiver by calling. She received her RN from Buffalo General Hospital in 1949 and recently told her niece, "A nurse is the only thing I ever wanted to be." She later attended Nyack Bible College in the missions program and served on a short-term medical mission in Zambia, Africa.
Phyllis was a member of Bethel Baptist Church, Jamestown, where she served the children by driving the bus to bring them to Sunday School each week to learn about Jesus. Phyllis trusted in Jesus for her salvation, and she is now at home in heaven with Him.
She is survived by her sister, Dorothy Radd of River Falls, WI; nieces, Christine Burton, Darlene Russell, Martha Bushong, Joann Gillis, and Sharon Radd; and one nephew Peter Radd, as well as special friends, Sue Oakes and Dolores Himes.
Phyllis loved her family and friends and was always generous with her time and resources.
A funeral service will be held at Lind Funeral Home, Jamestown, NY, at 11 AM Friday, October 16th, with Pastor Drew Taylor presiding. Friends will be received prior to the service beginning at 10 AM. Burial will follow at Rutledge Cemetery, Conewango.
The family would like to thank the staff at Rouse Home for their compassionate care of Aunt Phyllis. Donations in Phyllis's memory may be made to Bethel Baptist Church. Share memories and condolences at www.lindfuneralhome.com.
