Frank Wilson Goff, age 67, of Clay City, Illinois, passed away on Friday, January 3, 2025, at Clay County Hospital.

      Frank was born May 10, 1957, in Flora, the son of Harold E. and Goldie A. (Stanford) Goff. 

      Frank had worked at Sparton Manufacturing in Flora and AMF in Olney.  He then worked as a housekeeper for the elderly.  Frank was really a big kid at heart and could often be found playing with the neighborhood children in the front yard.  He always kept a tidy yard so that it was ready for the next family cookout.  Frank enjoyed word search puzzles and watching classic western movies and TV shows.
