Oral Frank Pemberton
Oral Frank Pemberton, son of Rector Noel and Lola Jewell Andrews Pemberton, was born Jan. 31, 1929 in Iberia and departed this life Sept. 14, 2003 in Lebanon at the age of 74 years. Frank grew up with very little, but quickly realized the value of hard work, many times working more than one job to support his family.
Frank entered the United States Navy on Dec. 5, 1945 while attending high school. He served for two years, and was honorably discharged on July 31, 1947. Frank was awarded his high school diploma last year.
In June 4, 1949 he was united in marriage with Charlotte Station and to this union seven children were born.
Frank was a lifetime member of the American Legion Post #240, Disabled American Veterans, Chapter #49, and also the director of the Salvation Army in Richland. He was also very active in community affairs and was instrumental in founding the senior center in Richland.
For many years Frank has been an active and faithful member of the St. Jude Catholic Church, which he co-founded.
Frank was truly a family man. He loved the time spent with his family, especially the grandchildren and great-grandchildren; however, he loved every child he met. He was always full of laughter and ready with a quick joke. His family will always remember the fact that he treated everyone equally and never looked down on anyone. Frank loved every one of his family members. He supported each of them, and expected very little in return.
Frank supported his family, his community, and his church equally. He loved life, and he loved helping others. This is what Frank lived for. He had a wonderful sense of humor, which he passed on to all of his children. This is how he coped with life. He had many friends, knew no strangers, and had no enemies. He will be sadly missed by all of those whose lives he touched. We can learn from Frank. He was a wonderful father, a wonderful husband, and a wonderful person. We all love him!
He is survived by his loving wife Charlotte of the home; three sons, Frank Jr., of Austin, Texas, David and wife Joanne of Longview, Texas, Ron and wife Beverly of Richland; four daughters, Marilyn Harrison and husband Steve, Linda Williams and husband Bill, all of Richland, Sharon Berry and husband Jerry of Lebanon, and Chris Malley and husband Pete of St. Robert; one brother, Duane Pemberton and wife Helen of Richland; one sister, LaVelle Gan and husband Marvin of Laquey; thirteen grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; other relatives and many friends.
He is preceded in death by his father, Rector Pemberton; his mother, Lola McDonald; and one brother, Clay Pemberton. He is now in heaven, spending time with all of his loved ones, catching up with old friends, and staying just as active there as he was in this life. He is watching over us, and will continue to guide us in this life from above.
Frank was a loving and caring person and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
