Francis (Frank) Webb Meister

Francis (Frank) Webb Meister, age 89, of Corcoran, died on April 29, 2025.

Frank took pride in keeping a well-groomed lawn, enjoyed gardening and watching his colony of Purple Martins. At Christmas time, he loved to make several kinds of candy and cookies. Many were lucky to be the recipients of the garden harvests and candies. Frank had a strong Catholic faith and loved his family; he mentioned multiple times in his last few weeks that he had the best wife he could ever have asked for.

Frank is survived by his wife of 63 years, Catherine (Oeffling) Meister; children Denise (Myron) Haechrel, Pat (Paula) Meister, Jodi Wagner, Karen (Tim) Ryan; grandchildren, Nathan (Kaylee) Haechrel, Heidi Haechrel, Adam Meister, Matthew Meister, Alex Wagner, Angie Wagner, James Ryan, and Joey Ryan; siblings, Betty Eull, Joanne Hackenmueller, John Meister and many nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by daughter, Karla Meister; son-in-law, Richard Wagner; siblings, Irene Barthel, George Meister, Jean Laurent, Mary Leuer and Chuck Meister.

Mass of Christian Burial will be at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, 20000 County Rd 10, Corcoran, MN, on Thursday, May 8th at 12 noon, with visitation two hours prior, starting at 10 am. There will be a processional down Meister Road to Old St Thomas Cemetery, 9300 Trail Haven Road, Corcoran, MN, for burial, followed by a luncheon at the church.

A special thank you to all the medical staff who have cared for Frank over the last several months.
