Francisco “Frank” M. Frausto was born on October 10, 1936, to Espiridion and Gregoria (Martinez) Frausto in Las Animas, CO. He passed away on November 30, 2020, at UC Health Memorial Hospital North in Colorado Springs, CO, at the age of 84.
Frank was a man devoted to his faith, family, friends, and his community. He worked hard his entire life, first as a farm laborer in his teens before moving to a construction/retail position at Gardner Lumber Company, until a fire at this business forced him to change his career path. Never a man to just give up, he instead worked at positions for the Las Animas School District and ended his many working years when he retired from Ft. Lyon VA Medical Center.
