Francis James Scanlon
October 14, 1933 — January 23, 2020
Francis James Scanlon, 86, of Hanover Township, passed into eternal life on January 23, 2020.
Born October 14, 1933 in Wilkes-Barre Frank was the son of James and Margaret (McEvoy) Scanlon. He was a graduate of Kings College, Class of 1955. He worked in sales throughout his life, making many lifelong friends along the way.
Frank loved breakfasts and lunches with his buddies, attending numerous sporting events and banquets, and rooting for his beloved Notre Dame Fighting Irish football teams, but most of all he loved the time he spent with his family-whether at home, Rhode Island or at the Jersey Shore. Frank was a communicant at the Church of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception where he served his faith as a Eucharistic Minister.
Frank was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Elizabeth; and his grandson John Michael Scanlon.
Frank will be greatly missed by two sisters, Peggy Ann Malkemes and Catherine Jones; his devoted wife of sixty-four years Alice (Larkin); his three children, Patrick (Chip) and his wife Jamye, Lynn, and Kevin and his wife Corinne; his grandchildren, Thomas and his wife Katie, Elizabeth and her husband Abe Strasser, Hideki, Anna Marie, and Michael; as well as four great-grandchildren, Thomas, Evelyn, Emily and Mairead. He will be remembered as “Pop Pop”, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend.
Frank's entire family is thankful for the compassionate care received from the staff of Birchwood Nursing Center and Hospice of the Sacred Heart.
Celebration of Frank's Life will begin Monday, January 27th, with visitation from 4 to 7 PM at McLaughlin's, 142 South Washington Street in Wilkes-Barre and continue there on Tuesday, January 28th, with gathering at 8:30 AM followed by a Funeral Mass at 9:30 AM in the Church of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception.
Memorial donations are preferred and may be made to Hospice of the Sacred Heart, 600 Baltimore Drive #7, Wilkes Barre, PA 18702.
