Franklin Curtis Falks and Carol Anne Falks built a life together that crossed communities, classrooms, football fields, churches, and generations. They married on June 22, 1968, beginning a partnership that would span decades.
Frank’s career in football took their family across the country and beyond. Carol shared those years of travel and adventure while developing her own lifelong relationship with education, books, learning, and service.
Wherever life took them, learning remained important. Frank became known for his knowledge of football and his ability to teach. Carol’s curiosity continued through reading, genealogy, literature, teaching, and meaningful conversations.
Their faith was equally important. Frank and Carol were active members of the Genessee Avenue Church of Christ community. Together, they served as co-coordinators of the church’s Golden Wisdom Senior Ministry for ten years.
Their story is about more than professional accomplishments. It is about faith, family, learning, and serving others. It is about leaving something behind that continues to benefit another generation.
Their legacy continues.
The Carol and Frank Falks Scholarship carries that spirit forward by helping students continue their education and pursue opportunities to learn, lead, serve, and make a difference.
