Pearl Louise Frantz

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Pearl Louise Frantz went home to her Lord, Friday, July 26, 2024, at the age of 88 in Saratoga Springs, New York, at the Wesley Community Center. Born at home, April 12, 1936, in Perkasie, PA. the only daughter to Walter H. (d. 1967) and Erma S. (d. 2005) Frantz. She lived in Bucks County until 2020, then moved to Saratoga Springs, New York to be near her brother and his family for assistance.

Pearl graduated, class of 1955, Pennridge High School. She enjoyed her class reunions. Upon graduating she worked at the telephone company as a phone operator for 39 years. She was greatly valued for nights, weekends, and holidays, since she never married. She participated in the Pioneers Club, the phone company’s service organization.

As a long-term member of the Lenape Valley Presbyterian Church, Pearl volunteered on several committees to help with the Lord’s work. She generously donated to many organizations during her life. Some of her pastimes: watching TV and knitting; reading and music; traveling across the United States and abroad; concerts and dinners with friends; and recording her experiences in her diaries with photos.

Pearl is survived by her brother, David Leroy (Carol) Frantz; 2 nieces, Karen (Frank) Lyons and family, and Kathy Frantz Weaver, along with great niece, Kelsey Weaver; all of Saratoga Springs, New York. There are several cousins living in Pennsylvania.

Her cremated remains will be brought home and laid to rest with her parents in the family plot at St. Andrews Union Cemetery, Perkasie, Pennsylvania. Relatives and friends are invited to Repast, on Monday September 16, at one’s own expense. We will be meeting at the Washington House Hotel and Restaurant, 136 North Main Street, Sellersville, Pennsylvania at 5:00 p.m.
