Kendra Frank

Kendra Frank, a cherished soul who touched the lives of many, passed away on November 11, 2025, at the age of 75. Born on July 19, 1950, in Calgary, Kendra was a beacon of light, known for her warm smile, infectious laughter, and an adventurous spirit that lived large.

Kendra radiated joy and warmth to those who were fortunate enough to know her. Her zest for life was unparalleled, whether gathered around bonfires camping under the stars or roaring down the road on a motorbike. She had a soft spot for dogs, which mirrored her gentle and nurturing nature. While she had a fondness for Pepsi, she also delighted in sharing a Bailey's on ice, reminding everyone that life is best enjoyed with a touch of indulgence. Her evenings often revolved around her favorite TV show, NCIS, where she found both excitement and solace.

Kendra’s legacy continues to thrive through her loving family. She is survived by her devoted husband of 31 years, Miles, who stood by her side through thick and thin. Her children, Karrol Ancelet (Mike Kwirant), Karlene Ancelet (Steve Goodman), and Teri (Herman) Hoogerdijk, carry forward her spirit with love and resilience. Kendra was a proud grandmother, of Dena (Adam), Dillon, Dawson (Siarrah), James (Darbi), Andy (Ri-Anne), Madi, Hailey, Morgan, Sydney, and Josh. Her heart swelled with pride as she became a great-grandmother to Wade, Harley, and Kaytlynn, whose laughter echoed her own.

Kendra also held dear memories of her siblings, Vivian Wojtowich, Royal Rumrill, and Wendy Warren, and nieces and nephews Jamie (Daniel Lockwood), Vanessa, Evan, and Ashley (Brian) Quist who will forever keep her spirit alive in their hearts.

Though Kendra faced the sorrow of losing her son, Corey Ancelet, and grieved for her parents, Kendall and Coreli Rumrill, as well as her sister Carol Hagemann and brother-in-law Wally Wojtowich, her strength and optimism never faltered.

The family extends a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Christopher Lee for all the years of care and compassion provided to Kendra. Her family is grateful for the time they had together, filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments. Kendra Frank will forever be remembered not just as a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, but as a vibrant spirit who illuminated the lives of everyone she encountered. Her legacy of warmth and adventure will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Kendra's memory can be made to Cause 4 Critters, Drayton Valley.

Inurnment and graveside service will be held at a later date.
