Frank Mack Noland

Frank Mack Noland, age 89, passed away on June 13, 2025, in Grove, Oklahoma. He was born on January 28, 1936, in Rogers, Arkansas, and lived a life rich with experiences that left a lasting impact on those who knew him.

Frank spent his career as a truck driver, logging countless miles across the country. He embraced the open road with a spirit of adventure and hard work, often sharing colorful stories from his travels that captured the beauty and unpredictability of life on the road.

Outside of work, Frank enjoyed a wide range of hobbies. He loved tinkering with lawn mowers and tractors, growing vegetables in his garden, fishing, and camping. A fan of western movies, Frank found joy in the grit and freedom those stories offered—perhaps because they mirrored his own independent and adventurous nature.

Frank is survived by his sisters-in-law, Beverly, Twila, and Shirlene; his brother-in-law, Gary; and many nieces and nephews who will fondly remember his warmth, humor, and the joy he brought into their lives.

He was preceded in death by the center of his life, his wife of 63 years- Joyce, his parents, Austin and Tracy Noland, and his siblings: brothers Bill and John, and sisters Sharron, Joann, and Betty.

Frank Mack Noland’s legacy lives on in the stories he told, the lessons he shared, and the love he gave so freely. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
