Frank Allen Hughes

Born on March 2, 1935, in Mobile, AL, Frank was the child of Patrick Earle and Ila Hughes. He has one living brother Dr. Joseph Hughes and three late siblings Pat, Fred and Becky.

He was a devoted family man, who adored his wife, Kaky, for over 68 years. Frank and Kaky together raised five children: Allen (with the Lord), Sandy (Ron Franco), Anne Marie (Jimmy Brooks), Lee (Scott Pyles) and Laurie (Dan Martin) who will forever carry his legacy in their hearts.

He cherished every moment spent with them, having fun in the sun in the Alabama beaches, teaching them to fish, cooking at their family barbecues and fish fries. Frank was masterful at creating incredible memories for his family.

Frank had an extremely generous heart, always desiring to help those in need. To his family and nieces and nephews, he was such an encourager and would do anything for them.
