Debra J. Frank

March 19, 1956 - February 12, 2021

Debra J. Frank, age 64, of Columbus, died peacefully on Friday, February 12, 2021 at Froedtert Hospital, after a courageous battle with leukemia. Debra will be inurned in the spring at Bethany Cemetery in the Town of Calamus, Dodge County, Wisconsin. Debra was born on March 19, 1956 in Beaver Dam to James and Sylvia (Mundt) Martin. She was a graduate of Beaver Dam High School. On July 21, 1972, she married James Frank at St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Beaver Dam. They raised two daughters together. Debra and James later purchased land in the Town of Calamus, where they built their forever home. Debra worked for many years at Chase Bank and quickly became everyone’s favorite teller. She always enjoyed spending time with friends. Debra enjoyed traveling, especially with her family. Her greatest joy were her three grandsons, which she referred to as “her boys”. Debra is survived by her husband, James of Columbus; children, Cathryn (Jay) Bosch of Beaver Dam and Rebecca (Tad) Bruckner of Madison; grandchildren, Mitchell and Miles Bosch and Clayton (Elizabeth) Frank, all of Beaver Dam; brothers, Gregory Martin (Robin) of New Jersey, and Wayne Martin (Sharon) of Horicon; other relatives and so many friends.

Jim, I am so sorry to hear of Deb's passing. Working with Deb was a delight. I learned so much from her and how to find shortages....

I am very sorry to learn of Debra's passing. She was always a kind & friendly woman (just like her Mom). She will be missed by many. I know this must be a very difficult time. I'm keeping you in our thoughts. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy as you mourn the loss of such a wonderful person.

It saddens me greatly to hear of Deb's passing. She indeed was a bright shinning gem. I can still remember her sweet voice and cheerful smile. She always brought warmth into the room and was there to lend a helping hand. Like it was yesterday I recall her arriving to my Mom's bridal shower only to toss the gift aside, roll-up her sleeves and jump in to help finish setting everything up--and I do mean everything--all with a big smile on her face and a saying, "you should have called me - I would have come sooner." She will dearly be missed by many in this world. God bless Jim and the family and bring comfort during this very difficult time. Please let us know if there is ANYTHING we can do to help. Praying for you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. We worked together at Bank One for years. I considered one of my best friends. I will keep your family in my prayers.
