Frank Simpson, age 90, passed away peacefully surrounded by those he loved on Thursday, June 11, 2026, at Highlandspring of Fort Thomas. The son of the late Webb Anderson Simpson and Bertha Lucille Simpson, Frank was born in Grant County, KY on November 7, 1935.

He retired from American Isowall in Florence and was known for his strong work ethic. Frank worked tirelessly throughout his life, taking great pride in providing for his family and ensuring they were always cared for.

Frank shared a beautiful love story with his beloved wife, Shirley {McCubbin} Simpson. Together they built a life centered on faith, family, and devotion, enjoying 66 wonderful years of marriage before Shirley's passing on January 8, 2026.

Frank was a faithful member of Hickory Grove Baptist Church, where he worshipped alongside his church family since the early 1970s. A lifelong Kentucky Wildcats fan, Frank especially loved cheering on U.K. Basketball. He also enjoyed fishing and treasured the many vacations he spent with his family in Gatlinburg, Florida, Lake Cumberland, California, and Germany while visiting his son during his military service. More than anything, Frank cherished time with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
