Donna "Susie" Franks

Donna “Susie” (Reese) Franks was called to the Lord on April 6, 2025, with her loving husband and daughters by her side.

She was born April 12, 1938, in Van Buren, to Ralph and Ruth Reese. She was the oldest daughter of six children and helped raised her younger siblings after their father passed away. She adored her siblings and this is where she gained her love of children, and her loving, nurturing spirit.

She married her soul mate, H. Larry Franks, on August 8, 1959, and for 65 years they have been best friends. He survives in Findlay, along with their two beloved daughters, Jodi (Bob) Green of Findlay and Jennifer (Jeremy) Franks-VanDermark of New York. Susie has six beloved grandchildren, Shayla, Shauna, Ivy, Violet, Rileigh, Natalie; four great-grandchildren, Liam, Colt, Alba, and Nash.

Susie was a loving, kind soul who never met a stranger and always had a kind word and a smile for everyone. She was a fan of OSU and Cleveland Browns football, and a huge enthusiast of flea markets, garage sales, and adventures of any kind. She will be dearly missed by everyone who knew her.

Per the family’s request, there will be no services at this time. HUFFORD FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, 1500 Manor Hill Rd., Findlay, (419-422-1500) is honored to serve Susie’s family.

Memorial contributions in Susie’s name may be made to the family in care of the funeral home.
