The death of Mrs. Theresa (nee Schemenauer) Frank of St. Mary’s Villa, Humboldt, SK, occurred at her residence on Sunday, December 6, 2015. She was 94 years of age. Theresa, the tenth child of Joseph and Cecilia (nee Marth) Schemenauer was born on September 4, 1921, at Marysburg, SK. She attended Marysburg School for Grade 1 and the rest of her schooling was completed at Bright Valley School. Following her education, Theresa worked occasionally for various neighbors. On November 11, 1942, she married Jacob Frank. They made their first home on the Frank family farm for 21 years. It was there where their three children were born. During the first year of their married life, Johnny Sawitsky came from the orphanage to live with them. In 1963, the Franks moved to Chilliwack, BC, where they resided for the next 21 years. For their retirement years, they returned to Humboldt to be closer to family. Among Theresa’s many interests were baking buns, quilting, gardening and, most of all, playing cards with family and friends. She was a member of the C.W.L. starting in Marysburg, then in Chilliwack and, finally, in Humboldt.
