Frank England, beloved father, husband, Grandaddy, brother and friend, passed away peacefully on May 11th in Cleburne at the age of 83. He was born October 23, 1941 in Los Angeles, CA, the son of Charles Alvin England and Jeanett Vandiver England. Frank attended and graduated from Venus High School. In 1962 Frank went to work at Bell Helicopter where he began a career that would last over 45 years. He served in several positions over the many years, finally retiring as Transportation Manager. During his career at Bell Helicopter co-workers became like a second family and their friendships remained a huge part of him until death. After Frank retired from Bell Helicopter the very next day, he joined Jeff England Motor Company where he had enormous pride in being able to work with his son every day. Even when his health was failing his goal was to always get back to work at the car lot.

Frank married Gwen Waggoner on October 30, 1988. They shared 36 years together with the majority of that time having a second home on Lake Whitney. The lake held a special place in Frank's heart and it's where the England family made many special memories.

Tyler; great-grandchildren, Ryan Evetts, Jace Jones, Denli Jones, Madilyn Evetts and Maverick Yeros. Frank is also survived by three brothers, Charlie England, Wayne Turner, and Dennis Turner.
