Frankie graduated from East Detroit High School, carrying forward a steady work ethic at DTE for many years and a quiet wisdom that shaped the way he met life—consistently, faithfully, and with care for others.
He was the beloved husband of the late Mary Susan Russell and a devoted father to Holley Russell and Brian (Jennifer) Russell. He was a proud grandfather to Baxter and Murphy Russell. Frankie will be missed by all those who knew and loved him.
Frankie found genuine enjoyment in the simple, meaningful rhythms of life—time spent with family, rounds of golf with his league, and the camaraderie of a long-standing poker game. A loyal sports fan, he followed the games he loved whether in person or on television, bringing the same steady presence and kind-hearted spirit to every gathering and every season.
Memorial Visitation will take place on Friday, October 2, 2023, beginning at 1:00 pm, until time of Service at 3:00 pm, at Kaul Funeral Home 28433 Jefferson Ave., St. Clair Shores, Michigan 48081.
