    • Full Obituary

      Frankie Pearl Kortge, 83, of West Salem, IL passed away on November 16, 2024 at home with her family at her side.

      She is survived by her husband Michael Kortge; daughter Gina Prullage and son Aaron Fewkes; granddaughters Kandras Kunkel and Charissa Penrod and grandson Nicholas Fewkes. Also surviving are Great grandchildren Madison Kunkel, Brooklynne Kunkel, Brayden Fewkes and Jaylen Fewkes and Hunter Mabrey, and Alyssa Borges. She is also survived by brothers James Root and Marcus Root.

      She was preceded in death by her parents, George L. and Mary (Copley) Root; and brothers George E. Root, Kenneth Root, and Herschel Root.

      Frankie was a loving wife for 47 years. Her joy in life was spending time with her family as much as she could. Christmas was the most special time in her life because she loved being Santa and giving gifts and all her love to her family. Her family will always have an empty space in their hearts that only she could fill with love. She will be missed so much by her husband and family. We all live to one day be with Frankie in heaven and share her love once more.

      Funeral services will be held at a later date.

      Ingram Meridith Funeral Home of Albion, IL.

      Dear Gina, Jim & Marc,
      My deepest sympathies on the passing of your mom.
      I have such fond memories of our visits with your
      Family from the time I was young. Had fun at the
      Chowders, even though the very first one made me very sick!! I grew to love it. Aunt Mary said that happens to some people the first time. We always had fun together, Aunt Mary made us laugh. My Dad
      couldn’t wait to see his brothers.
      Sympathy to Mike. Sorry I didn’t meet you on my visits. Rest In Peace dear cousin.
      Love & Prayers to you all. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Nancy (Root) Karlson
