Francis (Frank) Angelini, age 82, of Marion, SC, quietly passed away, after a courageous battle from exposure to agent orange, at the home of his daughter and her husband, Louise and Joe Krauel. He was born on March 26, 1941, in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.

Mr. Angelini (Frank) was preceded in death by his parents, Peter and Lillie Angelini and his son, James Angelini.

Surviving are his wife, Jennie Angelini; a sister, Marion Angelini and her husband, Larry Zaykowski, of Paoli, PA; four daughters, Louise Krauel and her husband, Joe, of Marion, SC, Cheryl Absher and her husband, Will, of Summerville, SC, Denise Armstrong of Fort Meyers, FL, and Laurie Hubbert of Goose Creek, SC; two grandchildren, Caroline Lewis and her husband, Robbie, Daniel Popejoy (Ashley); four great-grandchildren, Emma Martin, Garrett Martin, Levi Popejoy, Grant Popejoy; a nephew Danny Landis and his wife Sharon of West Chester, PA and Beth DiGuiseppe and her husband, Jimof Churchville, PA.

Mr. Angelini loved to share stories and see if he could get a chuckle out of you. He especially loved helping others and more specifically children. His favorite thing to do was give special coins or $2 bills to waitresses, nurses, grandchildren, nieces, nephews or just someone who needed a lift-up. It even could have been a pair of sneakers for the kid next door. Mr. Angelini worked hard - even three jobs at times - to support his family. He served his country for 20 years in the Air Force as an aircraft mechanic and was a Vietnam veteran. His fortitude and enthusiasm for life will sadly be missed as we celebrate and cherish the memories of his life.

Thanks to everyone through the years for your love, prayers, and support! It has meant so much. Caregivers and nurses we owe you more than we can say!
