Frank Wallace
May 13, 1932 ~ March 19, 2019 (age 86) 86 Years Old
Tribute
Rev. Joseph Francis William Wallace, Sr.
(Brother Frank Wallace)
Pastor Frank finished this earthly life and entered his heavenly home on Tuesday, March 19, 2019, having won his long brave battle with illness. He died peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family.
He was preceded in death by his parents Gene and Emogene Wallace, his brother Dan Wallace, brothers-in-law, Leonard Phelps, John Wray Walters, Charles Courtney, a sister-in-law Janet Walters and nephews, Gary, Greg and Donald Walters, Jr. He is survived by his beloved wife of 63 years, Lena Idella Walters Wallace, daughters, Debra Wallace-Padgett (Lee), Robin Johns (Gene), Barbara Kinghorn (Kevin), sons, Joseph “Rocky” Wallace (Denise) and Mark Wallace (Chris), 14 grandchildren, Randee Conley (Denny), Lauren Cartwright (Ely), Whitney Genée Morrision (Zane), Leanndra Thompson (Alexander), Chelsey Smith (Benji), Bethany Hollon (Troy), Andrew Padgett, Jesse Wallace, Jacqui Johns, Gabriel Johns, Anna Keren Kinghorn, Joseph Kinghorn, Rebecca Johns, Brandon Padgett; great grandchildren Crindalyn, Corrie and Dakota; sisters, Dale Phelps, Kay Lemaster (Ken), sisters-in-law, Augusta Courtney, Sue Wallace, brothers-in-law, Bill Walters, Don Walters (Evelyn) and several nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his devoted dog, Holly.
Pastor Frank was an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church. He served faithfully for 57 years including ten United Methodist churches in five Kentucky counties: Kavanaugh Circuit (Buchanan Chapel, Bear Creek and Kavanaugh Chapel), Cannonsburg, East Fork, Irvine, Jackson Chapel, Garrett Chapel, Lindsey Chapel and Melrose United Methodist Churches.
He was a man with many interests including farming, animals and sports (especially UK basketball and football and Cincinnati Reds baseball). Most importantly he loved people, his family and his Lord. He was known for his warm, friendly smile with which he still greeted everyone he saw until the last day of his life.
His favorite way to begin a worship service was by saying, “God is good. All the time.” The congregation would respond, “All the time. God is good.” He believed that statement with all of his heart to the very end.
Visitation will take place at Steen Funeral Home 13th Street Chapel in Ashland, Kentucky from 5-8 pm on Sunday, March 24 and at Bear Creek United Methodist Church in Buchanan, Kentucky from noon- 1 pm on Monday, March 25. Services will be conducted by Bishop Alfred W Gwinn, Jr. and Rev. Randy Coy at the Bear Creek United Methodist Church at 1 pm on Monday, March 25.
Memorial gifts may be sent to Community Hospice (1480 Carter Avenue Ashland, Kentucky 41101) or Melrose United Methodist Church (P.O. Box 384 Worthington, Kentucky 41183).
