Christine A. Frank Obituary (1930 - 2016)

Mrs. Christine Ann (nee Manzi) Frank, 85, a longtime resident of Lyndhurst, New Jersey, and of Beach Haven Terrace, Long Beach Island, New Jersey, died Tuesday, January 19, 2016. She was the wife of the late Robert Francis Frank of Lyndhurst Township, a private investigator who died in 1974. Mrs. Frank was a veteran of the Marine Corps Women's Reserve and until her retirement worked as a dispatcher and later as chief's secretary of the Lyndhurst Police Department. She was born in Jersey City and was a graduate of St. Michael's High School, Jersey City, where she met her future husband. Outspoken and headstrong, she will long be remembered for favorite words to her grandchildren: "What you put into your head, no one can take from you." Mrs. Frank is survived by her four children and their families: Anne Riordan and her husband, Kevin, and their daughters, Katie and Cara; Joe Frank and his wife, Karen, and their son, Chris; Grace Frank and her partner, Catherine; and Robert Frank and his wife, Kathryn, and their daughter, Heather; and other family members and friends. She will be buried with her husband at Hillside Cemetery, Lyndhurst, at a future date, following a memorial service.
