Obituary : Frank Sausen, age 88, of Black Creek WI,
passed away on Wednesday, April 21, 2021. Frank was born on May 22, 1932, in
Chicago, to the late Henry and Mary (Barbieur) Sausen. He was a 1950 graduate
of Shiocton High School, and he completed his education at Embry Riddle School
of Aviation in 1956. Frank was united in marriage to Mavis E. Elmer on June 23,
1956, and they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 2006. Mavis
preceded Frank in death on June 30, 2015. He proudly served his country in the
U.S. Army during the Korean War from 1952-1954, and he was a member of the

Frank started his flying career on February 15, 1959, with
North Central Airlines, then later for Republic Airlines, and he ended his
commercial airline career with Northwest Airlines on May 22, 1992. Frank had a
passion for teaching and making learning fun. He coached swimming for Special
Olympics and continued his love of aviation after retirement as he always
wanted someone to experience flying. Frank was an active member of the Shiocton
Flying Club. Competing in triathlons was a hobby he enjoyed, including an
Ironman triathlon. Frank's grandchildren held a special place in his heart and
his wisdom will be greatly missed.
