Frank Mayberry Obituary
Lt. Col. Frank David Mayberry, USAF Retired
January 7, 1936 - April 22, 2018
Lieutenant Colonel Frank David Mayberry, US Air Force Retired, passed away after a long illness at his home in Mesquite, NV. on April 22, 2018. He was born January 7, 1936 in Pratt. Kansas.
In July 1956 Frank received an appointment to the Academy. He was in the second class to graduate in 1960. The Academy was a focal point of his life and he never missed a Reunion if possible.
He married Eve Catherine Cholerton in Shrewsbury, Shropshire after graduation. They had two children, Kari born in Mississippi while Frank was teaching at Keesler AFB and Tristan born in the Philippines just before serving in Vietman. Frank was also stationed in Germany and Turkey.
After 20 years in the Air Force he began a new career in Aerospace that took him to Woomera and Alice Springs, Australia. He eventually retired to Mesquite.
All friends and relatives are invited to attend services on Friday, May 4, 2018 at 10:30 a.m. at the USAF Academy Memorial Pavilion, next to the Academy Cemetery on the Academy grounds.
The family also invites you to leave a memory or message on their "Guestbook" at www.virginvalleymortuary.com.

I am a classmate of Frank's from the Air Force Academy, and I am trying to contact Franks widow Eve. The phone number we have for her is no longer in service; so, I'm grasping at straws. If someone from the family reads this, I hope you will contact me at [email protected]

Frank & I were room-mates in VietNam - different outfits. He was full of fun while off duty, but took his work very seriously.
May he Rest in Peace

God Bless Frank and his family. We were friends through High School and played baseball together in the summer leagues as kids. It was a pleasure knowing Frank and having his friendship.
