Frank Joseph Provident's Obituary
Frank Provident, a cherished family man and respected businessman, passed away peacefully on January 10, 2024, at the age of 82. Born on December 22, 1941, in Pittsburgh, PA, Frank's life was one of dedication, hard work, and love for those around him.
Frank, was the beloved husband of the late Patricia Provident and a devoted father to his children, Missy (Larry) Provident-Hergenroeder, Mark Provident and the late Mindy Provident. His legacy continues through his adored grandchildren, Brittney (Mike) Blick, Lynsey (Joe) Miller, Nick (Karina) Loposky, Quinn Palko, Dylan Malkemes, Owen Provident, and Keagan Provident, as well as his treasured great-grandchildren, Kanon Miller, Carsyn Miller, Crew Miller, Luca Blick, Lydia Blick, and Milahni Malkemes.
Frank was the son of the late Francis and Julia Provident and grew up alongside his siblings, Janie (the late Joe) Busowski, John F. Provident, and Karen Stromberg. He was also a caring brother-in-law to Bob (Sheryl) Ditillo, Marilyn Ditillo, Sue (the late Bill) Piscowitz and partner Dave Williams, and Pat (the late Jack) Ditillo. His extended family included numerous nieces and nephews who will fondly remember his kindness and guidance.
Frank's journey from a meatcutter to the proud owner of a local grocery store is a testament to his work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit. His passion for his business was evident to all who knew him, and he took great pride in providing for his community. Frank's dedication to his work was matched only by his love for his family, whom he supported tirelessly throughout his life.
Vacations at the beach were among Frank's favorite ways to relax and create lasting memories with his loved ones. His presence was a source of joy and comfort, and his absence will be deeply felt at family gatherings, where his stories and laughter once filled the air.
Frank's love for his family was paralleled by the affection he had for his beloved dog, Bunker, who was a constant companion and source of happiness in his later years. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
