“Let’s pray together.” And right then, Shirley Anne Franks would clasp hands and begin… “Dear Heavenly Father…” Those who knew Shirley Franks, knew of her faith and her prayers. Born in Grand Rapids on October 7, 1924 to Jacob and Read Obituary
What a legacy of faith and love she passed on to her family and left for future generations!!
God shines His love through her!
Blessings! Linda Wanaselja
I will always think of Shirley, especially when I walk past her desk. I will always picture her pushing someone to their car in a wheelchair (when she was 90)!! She was the sweetest thing, always eager to strike up a conversation while passing her desk. She hated when the weather got snowy which lead to missing time at “work”. What a sweet soul! We are all so Blessed to have know her!

So sorry to hear of your mother's passing to God's Glory
Prayers to you and your famiy...grieve while enjoying her life and your memories with her.
To the Franks family, I was so blessed to have known Ms. Shirley - oh what a wonderful lady. The first time I met her was at the Lakes sitting in "her corner". Ms. Shirley has been a blessing to me and to so many other people as well. "Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck" Proverbs 3:3 Ms. Shirley knew how to love and she was the very essence of faithfulness. The amazing child of God, Ms. Shirley. The Franks family you are in my thoughts and prayers. With deepest sympathy.

I am blessed to have had this lovely lady in my life. Rest in peace dear lady. My condolences to your friends and family.
Miss Shirley, I don't believe there are words to even describe this faithful servant! How Blessed we all are here at The Lakes to have this angel greet us, hug us, love us, pray for us, and welcome us each and everyday to work. Shirley will be so missed and I will hold on to some of the last words Shirley spoke to me, when I told her I would see her later she responded with "Yes you will my dear, in heaven." Wow what a living testimony!
Dear Mary Lou,
The first time I met your mother was at a ladies meeting at a local church. She was speaking. I was touched and inspired as she shared the story of her daughter Susie. There had been a terrible accident. Susie was in a coma. She was in critical condition. Shirley spoke with such passion of how completely she trusted her Heavenly Father. I watched her and thought, someday when I grow up I want to be just like Shirley.
Shirley was a vision of beauty as she greeted so many people at the Lake's.
One day I commented that she was such a blessing to so many, she looked up and raised her hands and said, "Bouquets to Jesus."
He must have been so happy to see her in Glory!
Shirley will be deeply mourned. Sadly missed. Never forgotten.
Love and heartfelt sympathy to David & Laura (Andrea, Joel & Renee')
