Frankie Jean passed peacefully in her sleep on Monday morning at her home in Kennewick after a lovely weekend with her whole family and out of town relatives. Like her, and her life, it was a graceful passing. She genuinely delighted in life and every person she met. She never met a stranger. She not only listened...she heard, and in this simple way, she stitched lives. It?s just what she did. Born in Roaring Springs, Texas, Frankie was the first of five children. Her family traveled mining towns throughout the Southwest, eventually settling in Bend, Oregon. As a young woman, Frankie worked at Camp Abbott, an ordinance shop and as a telephone operator, and attended Lewis & Clark College in Portland. She met the love of her life, Mike Rastovich, in Bend and they married on December 10, 1949. After living in Portland and Clarkston, Washington, the family moved to Kennewick in 1957. They raised three children who, as Frankie would say ?turned out good, in spite of her or because of her?. Drawn to faith at a young age, Frankie attended church on her own, often with her younger brothers in tow. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Kennewick for over fifty years where she was continually nourished by her church family, flourished in leadership, faith and life and was much cherished. Guided by her faith and innate compassion, Frankie used her gifts of friendship and comfort in service to children through school reading programs, Christian education and the Guardian Ad Litem program; to families through social services; and to individuals as confidant and friend. Over the years she found delight in square dancing, Red Hat Sisters of the Purple Sage, gathering together friends and family, and red toe nail polish. She lost Mike, her husband and best friend in 1997, yet she still held with her the twinkle of his eye and a continued zest for life. While snow skiing in her twenties, Frankie received a bad sun burn, which in later years, took some of her sight. Nonetheless, in August of 2009 she went to a camp for visually impaired, loved white-water rafting and was looking forward to tandem sky-diving this summer. Her one gripe in life was daylight savings time. In honor of her, we mention it here to forward her mission to do away with this foolishness once and for all. Frankie believed we teach by the way we live and sought joy in people and new experiences. Her goal was to die young at an old age. Among many favorite sayings was one she said most mornings: ?This is the day the Lord has made, and Frankie will rejoice and be glad in it.? And she did just that. Frankie was preceded in death by her mother and father, Minnie and Frank Hogland, her husband Mike Rastovich and her brother Wesley Hogland. She is survived by brothers Doug Hogland, Gerald Hogland and wife Lee, and Gordon Hogland; daughter Michele Rastovich, son Michael Rastovich, his wife Luann and son Joseph, daughter Bobi Wilson, her husband Scott and children Cara, her partner Mike, Teagan and Kirk along with many much loved nieces, nephews and friends. A celebration of Frankie?s life will take place Saturday, March 20, 2:00pm at First Presbyterian Church, 2001 W. Kennewick Avenue, Kennewick, WA 99336. Donations in honor of Frankie may be made to the First Presbyterian Church or Edith Bishel?s Center for the Blind, 628 North Arthur Street, Kennewick, WA 99336
