Franklin Delano Loveless, loving husband, devoted father, grandfather and faithful friend, passed from this life to his heavenly home on Sunday, April 12, 2015 at the age of 81 years.

Born in Quanah, Texas on May 25, 1933, Frank was one of eleven children born to his parents, James Cube Loveless and Jessie Estelle Clements Loveless.

He answered the call to serve his country and joined the U.S. Army, working as a Radar Operator for the 49th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion during the Korean War. On August 26, 1954, he married his beloved wife, Camilla Joan Hankins and together they shared more than sixty years of marriage. Frank studied at Texas Tech University, Oklahoma University Health and Science Center and Western Oklahoma State College before spending most of his career in Hospital and Nursing Home Administration. He was also trained as a Lab and X-Ray Technician and had worked as a Real Estate Broker. He was a member of Bethel Baptist Church, Rotary International, the OK Real Estate Association, OK Hospital Association and the OK Nursing Home Association. For many years he wrangled and taught eighth grade boys Sunday School at First Baptist Church in Hollis, OK but perhaps his greatest legacy was that he was a compassionate, Christian man who adored his wife, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife, Camilla “Millie” Joan Hankins Loveless of the home; three daughters and two sons-in-law, Vicky Jayenell Smith of Norman, OK, Karen Sue (Susy) and Brad Bartlett of Newcastle, OK,  D’Linda and Brad Neidy of Clinton, OK; a son and daughter-in-law, Blake Loveless and Nancy Van Doren of Tulsa, OK; a brother and three sisters-in-law, Gerald and Lynn Loveless, Ann Loveless and Faye Chenault; a brother-in-law, Dwight Hankins and his wife Judy; nine grandchildren, Leah Smith, Russ Smith and wife Jessica, Bruce Bartlett and wife Rebecca, Blythe Lyles and husband Will, Brady Bartlett, Taylor Neidy, Paige Neidy, Erika Van Doren and Blake Van Doren; and eight great grandchildren, Hannah Beeson, Franklin Houts, Griffin Houts, Elley Hogin, Baron Smith, Camden Bartlett, Brooklyn Lyles and Deacon Lyles.
