Frank Chi-Tseng Wang

God called Frank Wang home on January 11, 2015, while Frank was sleeping in his long-time home in Plano, Texas. Born in Anhui Province, China, on March 4, 1927, Frank spent his childhood and teenage years in central China. After graduating from University of Nanking, Frank moved to Taipei, Taiwan, where he began a career in government service. There, he met the love of his life, Betty Tang. On December 22, 1951, Frank and Betty were married and this past December 22, 2014, they celebrated 63 years of marriage.

After the birth of their son and with their daughter on the way, Frank moved his young family to Brazil to start a family-owned business. But the United States Federal Government sought Frank’s talents and knowledge, and recruited him to join the U. S. State Department in Washington, DC. With their second daughter on the way, Frank moved the family to Washington, D. C., and began a 30 year career as a US diplomat and government official. This career took Frank and his family all over the globe, living for years at a time in Holland, Thailand, Peru, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and New York. Upon retiring from the government career, Frank then embarked on a second successful career as an entrepreneur in the private sector. Promoting development and investment projects between the US and overseas countries, Frank enjoyed further globe-trotting experiences in his second career. When Frank decided to “really” retire, he and Betty settled in Plano, Texas. There, they spent many happy years doting on grandchildren and spending time with family.

Frank was a wonderful husband, father, grandpa, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend to everyone whose lives he touched. He was thoughtful, kind, and generous. He had a keen intellect, was passionate about world affairs, and felt great pride in being an American. At his core, he was deeply committed to his family and provided a shining example of the meaning of “unconditional love”.

Frank is survived by his beloved wife of 63 years, Betty, son James Wang, daughter Marcelina and her husband Richard Wilson, daughter Cecilia and her husband Ken Biggs, grandchildren Matthew Wilson, Christopher Wang, Nathan Wang, Timothy Wang, Summer Biggs, and Sierra Biggs, brother Yu-Tseng Wang, sister Bai-ling Wang, brother Xi-Tseng Wang, sister Ling-ling Wang, brother Chi-Tseng Wang, and cousins, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces, and many dear friends. Frank is predeceased by his father Nan-yuan Wang, his mother Kuang-yu Yin, and his daughter-in-law Patricia Wang.

A Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, January 17, 2015, at 2:00 PM at Forest Park The Woodlands Funeral Home and Cemetery, in The Woodlands, Texas, with a burial service following. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that any remembrance be made to the charity organization of your choice.
