Elizabeth Jane "Jane" Frank of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania died Saturday, March 9, 2019 at Holy Redeemer Hospital Hospice. She was 87 years old. Jane was born May 12, 1931 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, daughter of the late Walter Shaw and the late Margaretta Shaw (nee - Ervine). She is the beloved wife of the late Walter S. Frank; mother of Joanne McAllister and her husband Skippy; Nancy Harris and her husband the late Ken, and David Frank; grandmother of Kenny Harris (Daina) and Kyle Harris; great grandmother of Chaplin Harris and Kyle Harris, Jr.
Jane was raised and educated in the Crescentville neighborhood of Philadelphia, graduating from Olney High School. Her family attended the Crescentville United Methodist Church and it was there as a teenager that she met Wally Frank during one the Church picnics.

They lived in the Lawndale neighborhood of Northeast Philadelphia on Knorr Street briefly before moving to their current home where they have resided for more than 55 years and raised their children.
Many other lifelong connections and friendships sprung up from Crescentville including a group of friends from their kindergarten years lovingly referred to as the “The Sorority.” Jane remained active in the Church and enjoyed singing, both in performance and as part of the choir.
