Kathy died peacefully Saturday, August 28, 2021, of an aggressive cancer at Osmond General Hospital in Osmond, Nebraska. She was born May 10, 1945, on the farm northeast of Wausa to Doc Gillilan and Bernice (Henrickson) Gillilan. Kathy was their second daughter of four. She went to School at Goldenrod Country School and then Wausa High School. Kathy attended Wayne State College and received her teacher's degree. Kathy and Fred M. Frank were married in 1965 in Wausa at Thabor Lutheran Church. She taught kindergarten in Verdigre. Kathy was injured in a hunting accident shortly after they were married and lost her sight in both eyes. She has been described by others as amazing and inspirational. Kathy lived around Wausa her whole life. She and Fred lived on the farm for 14 years. There, she gardened, knitted, canned, and raised a toddler! After moving into Wausa, she could be seen walking the dog going to get groceries independently and would know exactly which house she was walking past. They lived in the town of Wausa for over 30 years. Kathy knew people stories and was heavily involved in her community. She was a member of Wausa Eastern Star #159, active in the Methodist Church, on the city Council, and a volunteer at the library. Kathy was a past member of the Golden Hour neighborhood club and present member of the Town and Country Gals club. Kathy survived by her husband, Fred; son, Jeff; sisters, Sharon Gillilan Hall, brother-in-law Gary Hall, and Trish Henry; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Dalton Gillilan and Bernice Gillilan; sister, Beth Heckathorn; and brother-in-law, John Heckathorn. Kathy has been an inspiration to all who met her, was genuinely interested in everyone she met, and ensured we all felt part of her family and her community. The shock of her passing has left us empty. She will be missed by all.
