Obituary

Frank Allen "Frankie" Babb went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, September 1, 2020.  He was born in Baltimore, Maryland to the late Oscar and Emma Babb, and was raised in Suffolk, Virginia.  He was predeceased by his brother, Robert "Bobby" Babb and brother-in-law, Otis Baines.

Frank served in the National Guard and retired from Golden Peanut Company after 44 years. He enjoyed Nascar races, cheering on the Chicago Cubs, and ACC basketball. He was especially proud of flounder fishing on the Eastern Shore with the same group of friends for over 40 years. He always talked about how lucky he was to have such a great group of "brothers."

Frank is survived by his wife of 19 years, Barbara Ellis Babb; his daughters Amy Schauss (Vaughan), and Kelly Babb, as well as his "bonus" children,  James "Jay" Turner, Kristie Anderson (Ben), and Michael Westnedge, Jr. (Sarah). He was a loving granddaddy to Emma Kaylee, Ryan, Kirstin, William, Emma, Ethan, and Ingrid, as well as Ben's children, William, Nate, and Cameron. He is also survived by his sister, Frances Baines; sister-in-law, Sandra Babb; and brother-in-law, Ben Ellis (Peggy). He leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
