Francis P. "Frank" Batarick, 92, of Coopersburg, PA, passed away peacefully on his birthday, September 14, 2025. He was the son of the late Stephen and Sophie (Wach) Batarick.

A proud U.S. Navy veteran, Frank lived a life full of hard work and simple joys. In his younger years, he enjoyed working his farm, tinkering in his shed, and caring for the horses. He was an avid Phillies & Eagles fan, especially loving football Sundays with his grandchildren. Frank loved sitting on his back porch, enjoying nature and never passed up a trip to the casino.

He is survived by his daughter Joanne Ruth and husband Perry, son Daniel, grandchildren Christine Hess & Chris, Michael Hess & Jessica, Sara Rachko & Adam, and Elizabeth Ruth & Angelo, as well as great-grandchildren Kayleigh, Aubrey, Savannah, and Ada. Sister Elenor & many nieces & nephews.

A service to honor Frank's life will be held at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Coopersburg on Tuesday, 9/23 with a viewing starting at 9 a.m., followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m., then internment alongside his beloved wife of 69 years Hilda (Hutter) Batarick in Saint Joseph Calvary Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, please consider planting red poppies in his memory to honor Frank and all who have served, or making a donation to the American Legion.
