Francis A. Ankiewicz
AGE: 90 • Wanamassa
Francis A. Ankiewicz, 90, of Wanamassa, passed away on Thursday November 10, 2011. Frank was one of four children born to the late John and Veronica Ankiewicz in Peru, Illinois. Frank was a Navy Veteran of World War II where he was part of the invasion of Normandy. After returning from the war he met and married Florence Domenico of Bayonne, NJ. They lived in LaSalle, Illinois before settling in Wanamassa in 1955. Frank worked as a butcher in Wanamassa for many years and served as a member on the Wanamassa Fire and First Aid Squad.
Frank will be missed by his loving family and dear friends of his community. He was an avid golfer and enjoyed nothing more than golfing with his family and friends. He was a true family man and his presence brought much comfort to anyone he was with. We could always count on Frank for singing a tune or telling jokes bringing smiles to all. He was a communicant of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Asbury Park, NJ and always made time for saying the Rosary.
Frank was predeceased by his parents and son James Ankiewicz. Frank is survived by his wife of 65 years Florence, his sons and daughter-in-laws, Richard and Kathy of Lakewood, John and Katie of Amesbury, Massachusetts, Tom and Alison of Wayside and James' widow Tonda of Temple Terrace, Florida. He is also survived by his eight grandchildren; Duke, Lisa, Marissa, Ian, Patrick, Scott, Thomas and Alexandra as well as 7 great grandchildren.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10am on Monday, November 14th in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Asbury Park. Interment will be private at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital P.O. Box 1000, Dept. 142, Memphis, TN 38148-0142 or Email: donors@stjude.org.
