Frank Randolph Marshall III, 86, of Baraboo, joined his Lord on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2016. Frank was born on Jan. 26, 1930 in Chicago, Illinois, to Louise (Keller) and Frank R. Marshall Jr. At age six, Frank moved to Oshkosh to live with his uncle, George and aunt, Rhea. He was the child they never had and they became the grandparents to his children. As a young man, Frank spent his summers playing tennis, football and helping his uncle in the butcher shop. He attended UW Oshkosh and transferred to UW Madison and graduated in 1954 with a BS degree in Economics. While at UW Madison, he played on the varsity tennis team. In 1970, he received a MS degree from UW Whitewater to teach Special Education. Frank taught in the Oregon, Richland Center and Baraboo school districts at the high school level. He loved his students and saw the need for them to have breakfast, so he provided toast and peanut butter. Frank was active in the communities where he lived and was president of the Sauk Prairie Optimist Club, member of the Baraboo Optimist Club serving on its board of directors, served three terms as Lt. Governor for the Optimist SWISS District, and raised over ten thousand dollars selling clown noses for childhood cancer research. Frank served 10 years on the Commission on Aging board of directors, drove for meals-on-wheels, and chauffeured those who needed transportation. Frank felt reading was the backbone of a child’s education and volunteered as a reading instructor at St. Joseph Catholic School in Baraboo, St. Aloysius in Sauk City and helped at the Kid’s Ranch. For over 35 years, Frank volunteered at nursing homes where ever he lived, and did church services at St. Clare Meadows Care Center for over 14 years with the help of his wife, Linda. Frank loved the Lord, and was called to do His work in many ways. He belonged to numerous men’s bible studies in his life which he dearly loved. In 1996, God called on Frank to do a bible study with the inmates at the Sauk County jail. So at age 76, Frank studied to become a minister to meet the qualification to do so. Frank was an avid sports fan of the Wisconsin Badgers and Green Bay Packers. He really looked forward to fall, as it meant the football season was approaching. Frank passed away during the Badger game and would have been very happy the won. Frank is survived by his first wife, Joanne Marshall (Teteak) of Florida, and their children, Paul (Michelle) of Anchorage, Alaska, and Kinberlee (Dan) McCrea of Whitewater; his second wife, Linda Marshall (Wolff) of Baraboo, and became a father to Charles (Kathryan) Listello of Greely, Colorado, and Michael Listello of Hove, England; five blessed grandchildren, Matt and Peter of Whitewater, Twyla of Greely, Colorado, and Alexandria and John of Hove, England. In addition, he leaves behind a large family of in-laws, friends and best friend and sports buddy, Frank Krom of Chicago, Illinois. He was preceded in death by his only sister, Joan; his favorite niece, Darcy; his aunt, Rhea and uncle, George; and his parents. A celebration of Frank’s life will take place at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8, 2016 at Walnut Hill Bible Church, 1900 East St., Baraboo, with Pastor David Hutchens officiating. Visitation will be at the church from 10 a.m. until time of service. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to, the reading program for children, c/o Kids Ranch, P.O.

Linda would like to thank all the people who supported her during Frank’s illness. She feels blessed to have her family support of Tom (Judy) Wolff and Kay Barbian of Prairie du Sac, Paul Wolff of Baraboo, Lindley Wolff of Waunakee, and her niece, Denise Earp of Merrimac, who would come running if she needed help. Also, the support from members of Walnut Hill Bible Church, Dr. Danny Sessler and the nurses and volunteers for Home Health United Hospice for whom made it possible to care for Frank at home until the day he went to see His Heavenly Father.
