Mary was born to George and Genevieve Kamil in Canton, Ohio on August 16th, 1935. She graduated from Louisville High School in 1954 and Gerber Beauty School in 1955. She married Harold Frantum on November 5th, 1955 in Canton. Harold joined the USAF and over the next twenty years the two of them and their children traveled the world together, settling in San Angelo, TX. She was a well-known club owner for many years and loved to tell about her first job at a record store, where she decided to setup speakers outside to let the music draw people in. She was strong willed and unafraid to act on her ideas. Music was always a large part of her life and she loved to share that love, she knew how to rock and roll and so does everyone she raised. Mary loved her animals, she raised huskies for many years and always had one by her side. She lived for her children and grandchildren, she saw them as her crowning achievements in life. She never missed an opportunity to let them know how very much she loved them. She had a passion for classic cars, especially her flame red 1986 IROC Z-28. She loved watching football and her Green Bay Packers. Mother Mary was a confidant, a card player, a businesswoman and a top-notch gardener. She loved being in the sun, living with color, and she was a beautiful woman that lit up every room she entered. She will be missed so much more than words can express.
