Obituary For Frank Thompson
Frank Marion Thompson, 74, transitioned to his heavenly home on February 26, 2024 at Lebanon VA Hospital, Lebanon, PA. He was born to the late Amy (Dowling) and the late Phinizee Thompson, Sr. on April 1, 1949 in Augusta, GA.
He graduated from Lucy C. Laney High School in Augusta, GA, where, as a star linebacker, he assisted in leading his team to victory in the 1966 State Football Championship. After graduation, Frank enlisted in the United States Army and served in the Vietnam War. Following his military service, he relocated to York, PA before establishing a permanent residence in Harrisburg, PA.
Frank previously worked at Borg Warner-York (now known as Johnson Controls), the York County Prison, where he was a correctional officer and in the hotel industry as a concierge. Prior to his passing, he was employed by Unique Limousine as a professional chauffeur.
If you knew Frank, you knew he was a devoted Pittsburgh Steelers fan, he loved to be dressed to the nines and he cherished his hat collection. In his leisure, he loved to travel, he was an avid lottery player, he was an excellent billiards player—a talent that earned him the 1985-86 Western Division Top Shooter Award—and most of all, he loved his family.
In addition to his parents, Frank was preceded in death by his stepmother, Alvenia Thompson; his brother, Phinizee Thompson, Jr.; his sister, Delores Goodman; his son, Andre Thompson; and his niece, Phaedra Thompson.
Frank is survived by his twin daughters, Tanya Thompson and Tenica Thompson of Aiken, SC; his sister, Lauren Washington of Augusta, GA; his special nieces, Dianna L. Thompson and Tonya L. Thompson-Morgan (James) of York, PA; a special sister-in-law, Carol A. Thompson of York, PA; his grandsons, Connor Cannon of Aiken, SC and Montreal Teasley of Augusta, GA; his niece, LaRay Jenkins of Hempstead, NY; his great nieces and nephews, Jazmyne Morgan and Kahlil Thompson of York, PA; and Tiana and Eric Clifford of Hempstead, NY and a host of cousins and friends.
Frank, a proud, resolute soul, will be remembered for all the heart he shared with his family and friends, his witty sense of humor and his zeal for life. He truly loved his family and friends and if you knew him, you knew it. When his time came, he carried himself with dignity, strength and a heart filled with love. He will be missed dearly.
Those who knew Frank knew he did not like being fussed over and would rather give than receive. In lieu of funeral services and to honor Frank’s memory, the family asks that donations be made to further advancements in cancer research.
Cremation services are entrusted to Major H. Winfield Funeral Home in Steelton, PA. The family will gather for a private interment at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery on Friday, March 8 at 10:30 AM.

Redd (as we knew him) was a dedicated man who cared about family, friends and country! I knew Redd as a teammate on the 1966 Lucy Laney State championship team! When he came back from Vietnam we would meet at his dad's house and wrestle in his front yard every day! He was good soul and was so proud when his little girls were born! I remember driving up with Alfred wells and Larry Nelson! We had a great time! Rest in peace my brother!🙏🙏🙏
Dear Family:
Your Father, Grandfather and loved one and I attended High School together and were in the same Graduating Class in 1967. He was respected and admired, especially for his leadership abilities on the football field. We will never forget the excellence of the team the year they won the championship. I had the opportunity to see him at one of our HS Reunion weekend activities many years ago. He was still in great spirits and truly loved his High School and friends. You should be very proud of your roots and his legacy. I truly wanted to be a part of the Service via Zoom; but, unfortunately, the Meeting ID and Passcode information did not work. I am sure it was a beautiful Home Going for my old classmate. Our love and prayers are with you and your family now and going forward. May God continue to Bless you all in the months and years ahead.
Timothy Marshall, Senior Class President Lucy Laney High School, Class of 1967
